ALS Charity Race - Oct 23, 2010
#47
Only 15 dNanos becuase we want to run only one set of heats with the 15 cars AND we don't plan on changing the layout.
To really make this good we need to have some interchangeable pieces to take out and shorten the track. We'll see if we can do that for this year.

I say let them eat on the full track, it will feel like a GT3 class car running the unhindered straight at LeMans

FEEDBACK FROM A USER:
While attempting to make reservations for the event I have found a series of mandatory hoops to jump through. The toll free number provided takes you to reservations but you cannot make any because in order to use the rate code you must call the hotel direct. The number for that is 1-410-684-3388. Do not mention making a reservation because once you open your mouth you will be transferred to the main reservation number where they can't help you or transfer you back. Once this has been done in the correct sequence you have to speak directly to someone named Clarissa. She usually isn't available so you will be asked to call back. If you are persistent they will take your name and number and call you back.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CODE ALS not SMERF

We are giving the MiniZ guys a motor and batteries so the Team Scream LiPo packs are something for the 1/18 guys, but they cannot be used in the race.

As you guys know, last year a few of us went out to Greenway Bowl after the friday night practice session. This year, we are doing the same, and I have decided that if anyone can beat me in a game, I will make a donation of 2x the count I am beaten by, or $20, whichever is greater. Lets see some challengers
