Nice! ....... not. You want me to leave early or stay all day? I'm a one motor budget racer running the cheap class....

My main focus is keeping the kid going around the track and off the grass..

True... if Rick wouldn't notice there would be a family of 5, two cats and a dog living out in the "garage" or in a small cabin out in the corner of the property...

If Rick would just quit farting around and adopt us then you guys could come and play in my new backyard... lol

What is the status of tables, chairs and the big TZGP tent? Carpooling down with Grant, who is still serving his 90 day RCTech ban for having an opinion, and we want to bring the bare minimum...

Kind of took it as "Its either the kid or table and chairs..."....

Default PayPal Payments now accepted

NWAC Race #2 is just around the corner!!! This Saturday June 29th at Timezone Raceway Park in Battle Ground, WA

Check here to confirm that you are entered into the class that you intended.

Payment:
You can pay with cash or check the morning of the race, or you can pre-pay via PayPal here.

Large Track:
Timezone traditionally runs the full back straight for the faster classes and runs only the infield for the slower classes. Racers voted that they wanted to take advantage of the beautiful back straight for all classes except novice. The larger track allows us to run 12 cars to a heat, and this allowed more racers to participate. So, if you were on the waiting list, you are now officially in!

Schedule:
7:00 - Parking lot will open
7:15 - 9:15 Semi-Controlled practice for electric cars
9:15 - Driver's Meeting
9:30 - 10:00 Gas Sedan Practice
10:00 - First Qualifier
(Please be respectful to the neighbors and keep noise to a minimum during practice)

What to bring:
Rick at Timezone has provided a covered area for about 50 racers, and tables and chairs for about 40 racers (70+ racers registered). So if you are carpooling and having trouble squeezing everyone into you car, you can consider leaving canopy, table and chars at home.
- Please bring an extension cord and power strip.

Transponders:
Timezone has not upgraded to the newest version of the AMB/MYLAPS decoder. This means that the new Mylaps RC4 (three wire) transponders will not work with the system, but the previous generation of Mylaps / AMB transponders and MRT transponders will work. If you have one of the new RC4 transponders and don't have any of the older generations hanging around and can't locate one to borrow, contact me, and I will be happy to figure something out.

Directions:
You can find directions here.

Default Thank you Plueard Walshs for bringing the food

Reminder:

The Plueards and Walshs will be bringing their BBQ trailer down with them to provide racers with food. Thank you Patrick and company for bringing the trailer all the way down to Battle Ground and for providing a great service to the racers as well as Northwest Harvest.

Serloin burgers with all the fixens for just $2.50
*Boca burgers* cooked on a per request basis
Bar S Sausage Dogs for $1.50
every kind of soda for $.75 a 12oz can
Monster , Rockstar ,Red bull (including diet) just $2.00 each
trying to work a deal with (Powerade)
plenty of chips
Coffee
water
Ice
popsicles
IceCream? (still working on the details)


We make nothing on doing this because we do it for the love of it

ALL procedes this year will go to NORTHWEST HARVEST



Northwest Harvest can turn our $100.00 into 857 meals
With 35,000 people in the NW out of work or making minimum wages and in need of the Food banks then every penny helps .

With all the cost to do this such as.
The trailer
A BIG grill
food warmers
Propane
Deep freezer
Refrigator
Power
cleaning supply's
All of this comes out of my pocket and I expect nothing in return except
Happy well fed Racers and support for a good cause.

Thanks
Patrick Plueard
