Bruce Hickman (the all-time leader in TCS regional wins) says he plans to run our regional this year. F1 rubber of course. Perhaps also GT1? He's running GT1 at the finals.

My vague recollection is that they start the first qualifier at noon. Could be wrong though. Ty?

Good turnout and lots of fun racing today!

For those who weren't there: Galaxy's AMB decoder has received AMB's update that makes MRT transponders stop working (and AMB RC4 transponders start working).

I believe that Dan Garber has volunteered to bring a sprayer next time, so the grip will get higher, making the F1 and 12th-scale classes more fun.

Also, I'll bring my backpack blower. My son and me can't wait for the next race!

It was a fun day with perfect weather.

The track needs a once-a-year power wash to get rid of all the dust and pollen and the blower can't remove.

Probably a good idea to get the spectators not sit around the track side before one of the cars get launched by the rail/dome and hit their face.

The go-on-the "tone" can be improved.

Better grip would make the F1 faster, but I can't imagine having more fun than I did Sunday...even with trying to fix stuff in time for my heat and failing. Slippery conditions are a great equalizer...except for your mini.

Yup. And the pointy ends of those F1 cars are kinda scary.

The sprayer is in the truck Ty, bring the Dew! Application might be a little tricky in the cool weather.

Fun day. Loved driving my new to me M03 with a Nicad battery. Plan on a Lipo by next meet.

The TC just wouldn't do my bidding. Probably time for new tires.

Thanks for the track sticky.

I must say that the track was really good on Sunday. Especially thankfull to the extra grip that the sprayed track provided. Good times! Thanks to everyone that made that happen.
