Interesting sounding event. I'm probably going to be going down to the Bay Area for something that Saturday night so leaving a day early and stopping off for the electric day of this is a possibility for me.
I'll be the first to ask the "regular questions" then.
Power? Tables/chairs? Tires for 4wd SC and buggy? I assume 2wd SC and buggy are open motors? Anything I forgot to ask?

We have power trackside. Just make sure to bring an extension cord, your own pit tables, maybe an ez up though it shouldn't be that hot by then.
All of the classes are open motors so run whatever ya like! The only restriction is 2 cell batteries for 1/10 scale. In other words, no 3/4 cell setups for the 4wd scts. As for tires our current layout city blocks are hooked up! Some guys also run impact/revolvers or calibers. We are going to wheel roll the new layout and sweep it and run it dry so a smaller pin might work better, but its hard to say right now.
I am sure there will be tons more questions so ask away!

We are expecting a good turnout. Sounds like we are going to have A and B mains for at least a couple of the classes....1/8 Electric and 4wd sct appear to be stacked! We have a professional level announcer for the weekend, Ruben Benitez, and we have some sweet looking trophies! Weather is predicted to be mid 80's. And we have an all new layout ready to rock! Overall it should be a heckuva weekend of racing! Post up if you are planning on making it so I can get an idea of how many out of towners to expect : )

Cool, where ya moving to in southern oregon colby? There is a really nice outdoor track outside of Medford run by Chad Paris. They usually hold a couple rounds of the Oregon State Series there each summer. Great people and fun layouts. Well, get ahold of us whenever you do come down to race. We have a great group of guys and we always welcome more people : )

Driving Directions to our track:
If you are travelling either North or South on I-5, take the Knighton Rd exit (exit 673). Travel East on Knighton Rd for 2.1 miles. Turn Right on Airport Rd. Travel 1/2 mile. Turn Left on Meadowview Drive. Travel 1/5 mile. The track will be on your right hand side. The physical (google maps) address of the track is 3747 Meadowview Drive, Redding, Ca 96002. Please park alongside one of the industrial buildings on the East or the North side of the track. You may unload closer to the track, but please do not leave your vehicle in a location where it blocks other vehicles.
Most people set their ez-ups and pit tables along the West or North side of the track. Power will be available, but you need to bring your own extension cord and pit table. I recommend at least a 50-foot cord. I also recommend you bring a chair. Ez-ups are not necessary, but temps will be in the mid 80’s so it will be nice to have one. There is a small market close by, but I also recommend that you bring an ice chest and plenty of drinks to last for the day/weekend. We will take a short meal break before the mains. I typically bring a sandwich so I do not have to leave the track.
I hope that answers all of the typical questions that people have. If there are any other questions just ask or check out our event page for more details http://www.rattlesnakerc.com/Special+Events/.
