Bohlman- that is great news- someone for you to play with this year!
Ryan has this wooded style that makes his car clearly the best one to watch.
Last year he out qualified the truck nats by 13 seconds!
I am glad to see that more of these pro drivers are stepping up to this growing event!
Chad Bradley was showing some interest in the thread on s-grid and I think he will make it out next year!

Hey anyone, a little heads up on the tire choice for 1/10 electric truck. Got some Hole shots M3 compound. Is the track gonna be really grippy or is it gonna be a big dust bowl? Will you be "moisting" the track between heats? Just wondering so I don't spend a bundle on tires that won't work. Any help would be much appreciated.

No Bub not holeshots! The race is in a huge horse arena, it is fairly loamy but not really dusty. Tires don't wear out at all. I would say step pins would be closer, kind of like Southside in Rochester. I have some you could borrow, let me know.

Mike Fisk - I have talked to Brandon about broadcasting the race- he was in town at my local track last week
I told him he would get entries and expenses- he should be e-mailing you so check your yahoo acct every so often..

Sounds good Notch!

The Fairgrounds has just posted a link to pre-pay for camping. Pre paid camping will be $20.00 a night, instead of $22.00 a night at the event. All camping spots will still be first come, first serve, but if you want to save a few bucks on camping, you can go to their site and pay by paypal and then send them a email with all your info. Their web address is http://www.isanticountyfair.com/

Thanks for all the pics, Bill! Your camera was the one I saw flashing when I was death revving the motor over the big double as I was trying to land the car.

If you saw a flash of light then that probably meant you did good! If not then that probably you did not or that I was jumping out of the way!

I had one go between my legs when I was standing next to the wall..... Needless to say it was not Ryan Lutz...... man was he on rails! It was fun to watch him power slide some of the rough corners.

The Mains were on RC Live, Lutz dominated and Kendall Welch and Team Associateds Brent Thielke battled it out for 2nd place with Thielke making the pass on the last lap to take second place. 190 entries at the X Games this year, it was a great weekend of racing! I did get some video from the weekend, but it will be awhile before I get to go through it.
