I hear there was a lot of talk at Snowbirds about coming to our race. Very exciting news!

Wondering what direction will the track be running for the INDOOR CHAMP race at 5280 Raceway. Reason I ask, I noticed from some videos that was posted, some run counter clockwise and some run clockwise.

Only thing I can guess, the reasoning for the track going "counter clockwise" is to prepare for snowbirds.

Thanks

Thank you sir, Either way it didn't really matter to me (just curious). Looks like a great facility, planning on coming from Cincinnati for this event an registering within the next couple weeks for 13.5 also 17.5 TC.

You know if there will be a spec tire for TC?

Yeah probably Sweeps. Although reports from Snowbirds are very positive about the new Jacos so I assume we'll give those some consideration.

It seems like the scheduling of Carpet Nats this year is sort of a blessing-in-disguise for the MHIC... Almost everyone I spoke to this past week seemed to think Nats was way too close to Snowbirds and, instead, planned on attending this race.

Either way... Im in
