Do you have any thoughts to how your going to do series races? Obviously the summer series is delayed due to construction, I know you mentioned a year round series, but I didn't know how many people would come race from kansas, missouri etc if they were already out of the points if they didn't attend summer races up here?

Massive!!

Becca may be getting a new job here locally so we won't have to move out of state. So, lots of winter racing for me!! I have always hated getting the rust out of my system every May. I am usually rusty until the end of June... Winter racing = no rusty driving..

There is no Summer Series this year.

We are going to start fresh in 2012 with the Championship Offroad Series.

6 races, once every two months. Two drops.

Feb, April, June, August, October, December.

, did you ever go to evansdale Ben for the winter series? Up there they would get about 60-80 nitro entries on a small indoor offroad track with about a 8ft high ceiling and you would pit right next to the track. I think we'll be able to manage considering you race, marshall and then back to the heated pits in a seperate building You could hardly even see your cars on that small track by the end of the mains the air was so thick with nitro fumes

Checked out the track today after work, I would say after construction there will definitely be no shortage of dirt for Alex to build some sick layouts...

For the un-inititated (me) how does this work? You have a race each of those months and accumulate points?

I made the trip once. Had a decent run with the CRT .5, but only an average run with the 1/8 scale. I still occationally use the clay switches from that trip for my electric 1/8 scale.

Wow, that is just crazy. They want that building done as fast as we do! I bet they will throw it up quick once they get the prep work and footings done! Keep those pics coming so we can see the progress.
