She is a trooper. The last time we had a baby we went to the Halloween Classic in 2006. She was due 2 weeks after the race. It was a 4 hour drive from Cincinnati to Cleveland. I promised her if the baby came we would leave the race. Well no baby at the race. I was safe that weekend.

She may stay home this time since Samantha is a todler and loves to run.

Count me in for a road trip!
Good to see the Dodge guy at the Nat's hope all your babies are well! Mine only wants a VW Bug still!
Wanted to point out a little detail about the track it looks great except their corners look like projectilles launchers. I have seen many cars go flying with expensive landings at the birds using pvc corners. I would reccomend some kydex flex corners on that pvc for some driveability and added fun.
Hope to make this one it looks like a super nice track
Anyone passing through or near 70 75 inter change in route for nationals, let me know.
Thanks

12 scale sedans!! Cool, I had the Xray mini TC a while back. It was a cool car.

I remember whatching out in Cali 12 scale mod cars on asphalt run. They were 6 cell cars back then. They were fast!!!

I would have no idea what tires you would need for 12 scale asphalt. Does anyone have a starting point? I may run 12 scale on asphalt. We will see how the 12L3 works on the greens I have for it.

Chris it would be great to see you again. Are you going to be running some tire at Randy's track this summer? I may be out that way at times see my boys and race.

The Omaha track had great flappers. I did not break a thing on my Losi. I should know I hit them a few times.

Sounds Good. Looks like they are going to be opeing in springfield which should be a little bigger than Rancdy's, either one. I am trying to get a rubber car to actually practice. Omaha was dialed, we need one around here. TTY L CD

Q..

Any suggestions on what tires we should bring to this event..?

Just looking to see if we need to bring a 30 type tire or something more close to a 32-36 compound..
