I have a great feeling this one is going to be big! Middle of summer, inside AC, man it doesn't get much better. Thanks everyone and hope you can plan on it! Friday practice will be posted soon - but more than likely like always - with doors opening around 6pm with practice to at least midnight. Oval practice Saturday after road racing and we are going to try and get a big screen to watch Bristol Saturday night Nascar! BE HERE!

1/12th stock it has been

Lots of talk to make it 13.5 Novak motors but no official word yet for this race. With Vegas coming up might just be best to keep it stock, some guys are going out west to get ready. Then if we go 13.5 for NOV there is plenty of time to get ready?

actually,the tweak adjustment can be done with tweak screws in the side plates.we havent been running the tweak screws though,we have been just running them without and i havent needed to check tweak on the car.i used to check it when i first started running it but it has never tweaked yet so i stopped checking.the only time it tweaked was when a front arm screw bent from a good crash.i changed the screw and the tweak was gone.i will show you the car at minnreg.you will see what i mean when i tell you that you dont need to worry about tweak.

if you wanted to run side springs you can always use the IRS damper tubes that allow that option.i havent needed any added spring tension though.

I have a great feeling about our next indoor FCC carpet race. Great turnouts the last 2 times we have raced it.

Plenty of indoor pits, power provided, chairs and tables provided. Doors open Satuday at 6am for road course with racing at 10am Aug 25th. Oval the same with some oval practice Saturday night. We will have some on-road practice Friday night and allow pits to be setup starting Friday night around 6pm. We are closing the track this time around midnight. Sorry but those are terms of Minnreg.

CYA HERE for some great on-road racing!
