Not sure why you would be having problems. No one else has reported any issues. But either way you're welcome to pay the day of the race. As Chilly said, we just did the preregistering so we could get an idea of the number of shirts and towels to order.

Look forward to seeing you this weekend.

It's probably due to me thinking I paid it and I went to double check it and it wasn't.

Is the "stock" SCT class required to run "stock" tires? Or, is this just a motor restriction?

I'm thinking of buying one before I head up there.. LMK

Pretty broad range of tires seem to work. Cross Bows, Crow Bars, City Blocks, Gridirons, Calibers, etc. Most of us typically run soft compounds but that's usually on a wet track. Track conditions this weekend will likely be dry so you may want to try mediums.

Any SC tires are fine. No 1/8th tire conversions allowed.

FYI. I extended the registration deadline until 6PM Friday for any who would still prefer to register online. Otherwise feel free to register at the Track.

See you all tomorrow!

Besides breaking my controller before the main and super gluing it and starting the main with a cold motor, it was pretty fun.

First year we have attended....... GREAT JOB CHILLY!! The promotion was great and race directors did what they needed to do (especially Sun)
Looking forward to racing again in 2011. Since there were a few "HAWKEYE" fans Maybe........... There could be some kind of a (cup / trophey award???
Let there be no doubt there were more than enough Husker "racers" there. Just a thought....... Use several different current class (Which to be determined later) And have an overall points finish to see who takes the award home to post at the store or the club. I think this would promote a "team effort" since this type of racing appears to be a little more on the loaner side."which, there is nothing wrong with that" That's how the Young Racers get to where you are "By learning from their piers"

Thanks For Your Time

Brian "Otherwise know as Colton's Dad"

Thanks for everyone that came to the race. We had a record 214 entries for both days combined. I think the ROAR Electric Nats had 305 so we are close to their numbers now!

There is a thread going with pics and videos from the event. Make sure to check them out and share your images and videos too!

Sorry. Meant to post this here earlier.

For any who are interested. The results for this race can be downloaded HERE.

Thanks again to all who came. Hope you all had a good time, and can make it back next year. Should be even more prizes next year, if you can believe that!
