all rite more off road racing :D

who wants to help me do some announcing this winter??

ill do

no you wont

Coolness!! Looking forward to the season and, hopefully, improving my abilities! I know, they're not much, but I can only work with what I have. :-)

BTW, since I haven't posted much on here, this is Scott Dyche.

Dear Monty,

Where is the Short Course Buggy Class?????

Sincerely,
:D


CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

what class do you want to drop so you can run SC buggy?? do we want 10 classes? how late at night do we want to run? i will add it since AE has now jumped on the SC buggy bandwagon, as long as you can get 4 of them for a class.

I'm looking forward to racing with you guys.
It's been a few years since I've been out
To a track.
I'll be running a FT Sc10 for now but may get
Into a sc10 4x4 one day.
How many people come out on race day?
Is there enough room in the pits for every one
Or should we bring tables just incase?

we usually average at least 100 entries per race. it can get crowded but as long as people leave room for everyone else you will be fine. the secret is get there early.........you shouldnt need a table, they have alot.

+1 to that

But you may want to bring a chair as those can get a bit hard to find.

Count me in Monty! I'm going to try and race 2mod and 4wd mod or truck mod depending on what new X-factory vehicles are on the horizon. :tire:

BTW, I'll do my best to make it up on the 20th for the track build. Anything I need to bring?

It'd be nice if the buggies were in their own class this year. Not a huge deal but it was kind of a bummer to have to race with them in ModSC last year. Having to use a full fendered body is/should be one of the qualifiers to run the class, but oh well.
