I guess i need to pay closer attention, I just got a phone about this.

just to confirm, you plan on running 4 cell 13.5, 4 cell 10.5, 2s 17.5, 1s 8.5 with any 200mm pan car body, which is any 200mm body, all together at the same time in the same heat(s).

is this the plan?

This event only. Regular club races are still 13.5 4 cell. The 2S lipo was opened up for this event to get some of the TZII guys to come up and run.

Default Outlaw GT changed to World GT

This one is my fault; the original spec for Hangar 30 and for Fantasy World should have prevailed for this race. The Oregon racers coming up are bringing their 1/12th scales. A Timezone Outlaw GT turnout is probably not going to materialize.

So, rather than our local guys going out and securing 10.5's to run against each other when 13.5 is the local spec, we'll go to 13.5, just as it is for normal Hangar 30 races, Fantasy World races, and every other big race in the country.

The Rainy April Indoor is running World GT: 4-cell 13.5. ROAR approved World GT bodies only.

I apologize for the hassle this may have caused anyone.

2. We have a lunch sponsor. My wife's law firm will buy lunch for all racers.

3. We will have a limited number of Hangar 30 t-shirts for sale for anyone who did not preorder.

I hear that we will have some racers coming up from down south, so I think this should be a competitive, fun day of racing in the hangar.

Yet again "whatever", I'll just bring a vacuum cleaner for everybody else's car, and leave my Outlaw GT at home......

I have a few 4 cells of Energy 4600s while they last at $10 a pack... used of course. 3 for $15 just for the guy who needs lots! But really, you can take your single 4 cell and recharge it several times a day and it will be fine. come see me track side or dial up 1-800-fish -on!.... I might be out on the lake Friday!

hanger 30 is a roar track and requires roar membership, following roar rules only makes sense.

If you can get enough committments from the outlaws give them there own class

I have a couple of 4 cell packs to loan out if anyone needs one

Took 12 minutes to strip the Outlaw and load up 17.5 rubber car, followed by a fit of frenzy that had the 13.5 outta the 1/12th scale and now I have an Inlaw WGT for the race. All in all, 31 minutes of painful re-alignment.

WDF, that's racing if you wanna race. I'll be there...............

PS I would like to buy a shirt please.........
