i'm in. the website says that there is no handling fee from the hotel business center. that is cool, unlike vegas. i found airfare on expedia for $213. i have made that drive, and am unwilling to do it again.

On a side note what classes are everyone looking to run? I was thinking 13.5 rubber but doesnt seem to be a class for it just foam. Also I guess I'll take a stab at 12 scale as well but again only 10.5.

Well, I pulled the trigger and purchased the airline ticket. Looks like I'll be doing WGT on road, 21.5/lipo for the oval and maybe the COT oval class.

I was hoping they would announce the tire for WGT as well.

But I guess we'll just have to wait.

Do we need to pack the oval ride for you?

That would sure be fun to watch again!!! Ficco - you know dumper is running the oval again!!!

But, you have to fit it into your boxes, as I had to work VERY VERY VERY hard to get my stuff down to 2 boxes, with the chassis and radio going as carry on luggage.

Yes, even got the truer into the box's. Will make the first outing on Wednesday and Saturday, so I'll know what I missed.
