Nick,

There's no entry limit so there's no cut off. I added pro buggy at the track to get more track time since Buggy practice was completely washed out last year.

There has been talk about a limit on entries. No hard # set yet at least not that I have seen.

If you are in NorCal I would make a stop at A Mains hobbies track in Chico @
Silver dollar fair grounds world class track.

Last year he let us test and tune on the 1/5 track at the fear farm on Monday/ Tuesday. I'm pretty sure most of the other tracks in the AZ area have closed. One year we srivr 60 miles to practice at ET but it's closed now. I will ask the locals and see if there's a better answer.

In Norcal the only show in town for nitro is at delta RC in Antioch (google it) I know they will be open Sunday-tues for practice but it's a small covered track more 1/10 than 1/8 and nothing even close to what the dirt will offer. It's where we get to burn nitro in the winter.

Thank you. I have been told that as well. I know for sure according to the flyer the test and tune track will be open starting the Saturday before.

Paddocks is about 15 minutes from fear farm and if you get ahold of mike I'm sure he'd be cool with some practice there.
I'm in for 40+ buggy and gas truck! If you got an old gt2 in the garage gathering dust, clean it up and come knock me iff the podium! 10th scale track with jimmy babcock on the mic, 5th scale with notch johnson. I'll be there waiting for someone to lose their voice lol.. ..no shortage of guys on a mic. Balloon animals, face painting, keg stands and this year we even have a hookah lounge! Bring it!
