If someone has registered for this race but can't make it, how is a refund administered?

A big THANK YOU TEAM ASSOCIATED is due.

They sent out a box of goodies to give away at this race. I just looked through the box and they were generous in deed. (tools, apparel, motors, TC5)

Thank you TEAM ASSOCIATED!

sorry to be a pain and thanks
There no longer is handout anything. It's all stated (spec) products or open to ROAR approved products. For motors it's bring your own ROAR approved stock (17.5bl or 27t brushed) or super stock (13.5bl, 10.5bl or 19t brushed) motor. Your allowed to tech 3 motors in any combination for each class prior to the start of the race. For tires your allowed to bring tires from your own source (if you can get them) and they must be presented new, in original unoped package for pre race tech. You're limited to 3 sets per vehicle/class and you have the option to purchase a 4th set if you make the AAA mains. Because the tire chosen is most likely not going to be available thru anyone other than the host you'll end up buying them from the host.

Default Corally Pinions

If there are any Corally Drivers coming in this weekend for the "Warm-Up", or anyone with an abundance of the Corally "Long Boss" pinion gears,
PLEASE BRING THEM!

I need a couple and I don't have time to get some shipped. (I wanna play with my new F1!)

The sweep tire is definately not the fastest tire in production. However, they are consistant from set to set, they last several runs, the wheel is good, and they are very economical. I feel that the fact the they dont get as fast lap times as a Sorex, is completely a non isue for a spec tire race. So far I am happy with the choice.
