Count my brother and I in on the 29th. Probably two 2wd buggies and a SCT. Lots of rust to polish off the driving fingers, so we'll, God willing, be there at 3. If we don't break everything to bits by 5, we'll be good to go. The track "officially" opens at 3, but is it "unofficially" open any earlier than that? Are you guys running an AMB counting system? If so, do you have house transponders? Also, the two buggies will be running older AM frequencies (75mhz, multiple crystals, I know, I know, 2.4G is much better, we're kind of dinosaurs, we're running brushed motors and NiMh batteries, too). Is the radio thing a problem, or do you still have a frequency control system (clips or whatever)?

I'm Riv's little brother. Can't wait to race again. Its been years. How long are the heat races and main? Along those same lines, what kind of gearing am I going to need for a RC10B4? My batteries will probably be my Achilles heel (along with the fact I haven't raced in years) and I don't want to dump half way through.

Wow. Did you mean 4 heats of SC and 4 heats of buggy or 4 heats of SC and one heat of buggy? Either way, it looks like a good turnout. We're still planning on being there next Saturday, possibly fencing on the drivers stand with our old (classic?) radios. It'll be nice to escape all of the Packer fans for a little while.

Is there any food available at the track, or do people typically pack along something to eat? I'm large and inefficient, and will need to eat at some point...

Kudos to Sean and the guys helping out at the track. We had a lot of fun. I wish I had given the Triumph a better showing, but rusty fingers will do that to you. The race was very well run, the atmosphere was great and the people were all very friendly. Just plain fun. I can't figure out why anybody from the cities would hesitate to get to Foley if they want some indoor dirt action. Then again, from Ladysmith, WI, I have to drive a ways for anything...
I'm still a bit put out that my brother beat me, even though he hadn't been to a race in 15 years and didn't manage to run in either qualifier. Well, somebody had to be last, I suppose.

Racing soon?
I was wondering if you guys are planning to race again anytime soon? I do seasonal work and the winters dying slowly, so Im looking to make a couple trips for R/C. I live up north, but would be willing to travel to check the place out. So no biggie just seeing what the plans are around there.

what time does racing start or normally end on sat?
Hoping I can at least put a battery through the buggy and truck this weekend.
