Hope to see many of you on the Riverwalk!

has anybody signed up yet? any big name drivers?

None that I know of just yet. We do have Associated as a sponsor so I will see of sme of their guys will be able to make it

Something tells me this thred doesnt have anything to do in the NW racers section.

It got you to look, did'nt it?

Really the reason I put this here is to get the word out. I figure there are a few pan car racers in this particular area of the country and I think they would want to know about an event like this so I posted it here. Dom told me he didnt have any problem with me talking about it here.

who cares...

and anyway, the on-road nats in Portland, OR this year, was the first time they ran 1/10th pan in a long time, so yeah, it belongs here. :rolleyes:

I'm with you on this one Peter:cool: I do agree

Sorry, im used to RCZ where everyone is asking questions and doing worng things, my bad, my appologies.

Hey dude, its cool. You didnt know.

Anyway. only 5 months to go and it looks like we are going to have a nice turnout! Got word that a bunch of Texans are going to be there (anywhere from 10-20), waiting on word from some of the guys in NorCal and SoCal (could get anywhere from 4-15 from there), There is a group from Colorado hoping to make teh trip and even a group all the way from GERMANY! So if you want to get in on this landmark event, get your entries starting February 1!

We have finalized the schedule. It will be included with the confirmation packet for the race. There will also be a few other nice surprises in there as well. Entries are now open:

1st class: $35
2nd class: $25
3rd class or more: $15

Only 2 months to go til the race! 1 month til the early registration deadline ($5 late fee to entries after April 30)

Hey just as a reminder,

There will be a Live US Pan Car Championships chat starting at 10PM EST (7PST) at www.chatshack.net/uspancarchamps there is no login, just punch in a name of ytour choosing and click enter chat

Just some clarification of a few gray areas

1. 3300 max battery size (because the 3600 and 3700 batteries are not officially legal and we are running ROAR rules we cannot allow anyone to run those batteries. I apologize to any of you who have switched over to the higher capacity batteries but that is the final word on that

2. 4 cells for 12th scale, 6 for 10th scale (except 10th oval which runs 4)

3. Brushed motors only

4. The early entry date has been waived as well as the late fee. We will take entries until 9:30 AM May 14. But if you are one of the first 25 people to enter you will get a free t-shirt (We will be selling shirts at the track as well). It is $35 for the first class and $15 for each additional class

5. For 12th scale oval, it is 4 cells maximum and NASCAR or GTP bodies (ROAR has allowed GTP bodies due to there being a limited avilability of 12th scale NASCAR bodies)
