well i hate to but i guess its time to get on the soap box...
1) since i have started this mini racing i have spend on average $150 a week (and still have the receipts to prove it) at pt....and am sick of getting short comments about the things i don't buy there.
2) i never intended to let my son race last night, but driving around between races was presented to me by someone else....i understand him being anovice would have put him in everyones way......thats why i said i didnt want him doing it especialy with someone elses car!!!!
by the way what were the points from last night??

hope every one had fun
BUT i though that we all had to vote on things that would change on race night
TOMMY might have forgot that
we need to put it on papper or somthing
as far as changing the track DONT BOTHER
keep it as is
heck if squerl keeps up we will have a diffrent track soon
so lets get things set so we will not have eney more problems
as far as motors if we have more then 15 cars we need some one to check them if thats ok
and lets vote on how long the races will be even that was set at the first race

Its sorta funny actually. I never would of thought that the Mini Cooper races would turn out like every other RC race but I guess it has. When we race them on saturdays it just seems much more laid back. Dont get me wrong, I had fun last night. Just seems like the same ole issues come up.
I don't mind however it goes, if the majority want to change it up who cares. But after last night I guess people do care, so I guess it needs to stay the same.
One last note, once the 20 min thing was mentioned. Could it be possible to do a rally type race one night. Maybe even before the other races start, have one 15 or 20 minute race, that would be enough time for people to pit and swap batteries if they want, make repairs if they need to and still have a chance. Just a thought. ...

MY 2 CENTS
I was very happy with the turn out last nite; love to see that many people racing on a Tuesday. I am sure Tommy and Vicky are too. But the point of a series race is to keep the rules the same every race NOT to change them each race, I fell it is Tommy place to keep the rules set for EVERY race no matter what. I was not happy for the long race because it is off what was set in the previous meetings. I am all for a 15-to 20min race but that is not what we are there for during the 10 week points race series.

Hey,I said I was sorry for bringing it up
I certainly didn't mean to create bad feelings
besides it won't be problem since I probably won't be back on tuesday to race.

Can someone please pm or email the results so I can update the standings.
Also please update if any of the previous rules have changed?

At this time if you can FIND 60d tires you better buy them 'cause they aren't making any right now. As I understand it the manufacturer of the tires is having to reformulate because of new restrictions on the chemicals used in the process. SO with that being the case what you find is all there is right now
