I'd like to see 8-10 confirmed. Last time I had 20 people say they were coming and 15 showed. So if I can do that again, awesome.
Raise of hands ... is there enough energy and patience in the audience to run this coming Saturday (Aug 23) or shall we bail for another more convenient date?
Please post or call me if you can make it.

Becoming a "member" of AREA52 is free and easy. It helps them keep a tally of how many people will be showing up and keeps info semi-private so people don't show up when the course isn't open.
I drive a Audi A4 with KW V1 coilovers on it. The ride height is significantly lower than stock (not "slammed") and I have no trouble with the gravel road for the last 1/2 mile to the track even loaded with RC stuff. The most severe section is smaller than a standard speed bump and it's at the transition of the pavement to the gravel.
It's true the track can be challenging to find the first time you go but it's not hard. The maps on the site (once you get your free membership) are excellent and don't leave much room for error. If you do have trouble just call the track and they'll guide you in. That's what we did the first time.
If I'm out there when you guys go run I'll gladly corner marshall for you again.

I'll do what I did for the Pro Series event we hosted, I'll waive our membership requirement for the slash tour for anyone that thinks they'll only be coming out for the slash meet only ever.
But anyone that thinks they may join us on other meets you might as well take a couple minutes to become a member on our website area52rc.com.
Just email me or call me for an address or map, i'll gladly give it.
The address for some reason only gets you there with google map.
I'll also put a link on our signup page of our website for signup with RCSignup.com for our slash date if it happens, its one option to let organizers know you're down for it but you'll need to set up a racer account with them first, Wes is on there I see along with many more if you look at Washington racers.

If anyone needs a clear body for their Slash we got in the clear Proline Hardcore body for the Slash at Hobbytown Everett. Got a big stack of them.
Also got the Slayers last week..things looks great, itching for an electric conversion. I might have to dump the eRevo and convert a Slayer.

so anymore news on getting the slash series going? would love to do it before weather starts getting bad.

This will allow us to run two indoors, hopefully during the bad part of the year.
I don't know if there is time to get this going and fit in two out door races however. We're running out of time and other clubs already have weekends scheduled. I am also not entirely convinced starting a race series for these is the best idea, we might be taking the Slash too seriously already.
what battery would that convert take

Well if that is the case, like i said before..... 4Seasons is indoors and they have a very big slash class of averaging 12-14 slashes every thursday night so there is another facility to consider. But let's get this thing rolling cause ECT is right around the corner and will be running Slash in that as well.
We're running out of time, seriously. We need to get something going soon, we're thinking of it looking something like this.

Ritchie, I converted a 3.3 Revo and looking at the Slayer I think I could it the very same way. I ended up using a Thunderpower 4S 5000mah battery. Tekno makes a battery mount that replaces the fuel tank area with a derlin plate; I think you could easily adapt it to work with the Slayer since the chassis looks almost the same. I am also thinking of doing the transmission the same way and using a e-maxx transmission like I did with my Revo.

We're down, book us for Sep 13th if you want.
We got dirt being delivered today so we can tweak and gear the track a bit more to the slash and it should be fun
I like to see a dozen or better of em rippin it up.
As far as the slash tour getting too serious, not if the tour never gets too RULED UP or maybe dont even run timed races, just have fun bash meets .... everyone group up at the start/finish, someone say GO and start the stop watch for 5min ... sure theres no winner or loser but so what. If you run real timed races though just keep it fun with very minimal rules.

* box stock (only thing you can change is) shock oil, shock caps, gearing, and reciever.
* bump to pass ( so you can't just pass someone, you physically have to hit them to pass
)* no track cutting
* no restarts
* TQ starts in the back of the field.
I will talk with the owner tomorrow to make sure that it's a go. i will let you know either tomorrow night or friday.
