Scottrik - Try this entry form. You can click in the areas that you need to fill out and then print it. I do this for all of the entry forms so they can't question my hand writing.

Yeah, but I'm not racing the series and am thinking to try Regina in Feb. Can only take SO much Cannuck "hospitality" in a given year...

Plus a chance to meet Mr. PRC AND Mr. Darkside at one race. I've owned BOTH their chassis and didn't realize they were so close. In fact, JP has been running the PRC off-and-on as he tries to sort his other cars. Keeps coming back to the PRC...you'd think he'd figure out it was the right choice for him sooner or later.

Colorado guys--I'd give it a REAL shot to make your event if you added 1/12 stock AND if you offer XXXL T-shirts (I likes a bit o' room in my T's). I'll even throw-down for a second T. Getting there Thur or early Fri is definitely no prob for me...not wild about getting a late start home Sun, but that's do-able (same basic drive as Minot for us...but warmer

). I've got exams Tue and Wed the following week, but I can handle it. I'd also electioneer like hell to get a couple of our posse to join me. I know Shawn wants to do a racin' road trip, Rick's usually up for a trip as is JP. Ya never know...

I put a futaba of the analog version (same case) in a 12L3 that I have a friend driving and yes I had to cut off the side tabs to properly mount it using the front tabs.

Eric--ran the Darkside for the first time last weekend. Had a couple new-car problems, but it opened a few eyes!! WOW. Pretty much un-sorted yet and it set the fastest time(s) of the race in 19-T. Wait'll it gets dialed in...

Glad to hear the car worked well for you. I think that the 1/12 stock class might be able to become reality. I'll work on that. Look forward to all of you guys making the race.

Yes, but the ENTIRE production capacity of said tree will be consumed by the regular "updates" to chassis...

I'll be danged... I need a white pen like Scottrik.

1/12 stock would be a nice addition if the track felt it was a good idea.

Scottrik, it's the same weekend as Calgary, the 4th leg of the WCIC series.

Calgary is about 1/2 the distance for us. You guys are right in the middle, almost exactly.

1/12 stock will be offered at the race. The track director expects to have enough for at least 3 heats. The class is being run every Sunday at the track currently and has a strong following. As far as sign-ups go, just consider it as a write-in class. Hope to see you all!

Yeah it would but it wouldn't be the first time. Some friends of mine and I took a trek out to the RC Thunderdrome the last year it was called by that name and had a blast. And my travels for work have allowed me to race a couple times in SoCal and Seattle areas. But lately my dept. travel budget has been restricted.
