I checked it out today and every one who ran said it was a lot of fun. Casey sags he's gonna hook up with shuie to get mini pins asap. I hope this is here to stay because it looked great guys! Any one who raced carpet two years ago can agree, carpet is cool

The carpet is going to be removed before the last race of the Triple Threat series, correct?

Mid yes, no gear diff to try. I have my first therapy the first if next month and I'm hoping they'll give me my middle finger and I'll race I'm thinking I'll need more pistons and I might order the aluminum chassis.

Yes were remaining carpet. The tire wear is insanly good! Over 15 packs on my mod buggy and it barely nocked the edge off! For some the pics wont load. The tires of choice are shumacher pins and shumacher stagger blocks. Ill have a abundance of tires in stock this week! We will have pics up on our face book page.

90% if the track, there is a wall ride to the left. Dirt is going out and the carpet will be cleaner and better.

I am severely upset with the decision of NW Hobbies to switch to Carpet in the middle of a series and not respect the flow of the series running dirt. This will cause major issues for the budget racer who's been able to run the race on the same set or "two sets" of tires. Now you're playing a game forcing us to purchase an entire new set of tires for your track one time? Especially those of us who do not frequent your track; we will be buying sets and trying to pawn them off before we leave. Basically putting this in the "outright unacceptable" department of thought. Sixty dollars for some silly pin tires we "coincidentally will only be able to get from your shop" on your whim decision?

I for one will not be attending this race due to the stench surrounding this decision and hope for a new decision in the betterment of our racing community. Your drivers have not attended our races in Topgear or Dave's RC for both of their events and then when we are preparing to visit NW hobbies, this is thrown to us? I refuse.

This is shameful.
