Oh, another reason for me to switch to Xray is that NexusRacing is carrying Xray products now.

Do you plan on going to the track any before the 25th? Does anyone have plans to fill the cracks or patch the dips?

This may be a strange question but is the sugarbowl track asphalt with sealer on it? If it is what do they use to keep traction for the foam tires? I guess it is the blue in the pic that may be throwing me off.

Sealed?

No, The track is not sealed. They use a little grape soda to bring the traction up. The track is good without, but great with the juice!

Good deal, I guess the pic threw me off a little. We are running about 3 weeks late for the F1 tour because of a surgery for one of the racers wife. That will be no problem though now that we have started. We may change and go to Calhoun first then the sugarbowl. Everyone can't wait to race both tracks and we will get to them asap. Everyone get your F1's 1/12th and touring cars ready.

So, if Keith is running a T2 now with his LiPo packs, how does that work? I thought the bulkhead on the battery side wasn't conducive to a LiPo brick because it was shaped with the humps of a normal 6 cell pack in mind?
