Not the best forecast but hey, 40% chance of rain means 60% chance of no rain.

It's not going to rain. DON'T trust weather.com, they tend to be very unpredictable. Check other sites and they will tell you there will be no rain on Saturday. FYI, I think you guys maybe misinterpeting the forecast for Saturday, I searched weather.com and I'm not sure were you got 60% chance or rain. They are forecasting a 60% precipitation level for that day, not 60% chance of rain. Check it out...

It keeps the rain away!

Everyone, do the Sun Dance!

Don (NORRCA PRES), you had better be doing the Sun Dance, with a dip.

Even if it doesn't rain, we'd still be kinda screwed with trying to pick out a tire choice. If it were hot, the tire would be a no brainer, but now...who knows. What are you guys gonna try? Neil, if it doesn't rain, do you mind carpooling? I've gotta try to get Friday off to fix the cars I broke on Tuesday

I just purchased 3 new sets of HPI box stock threads and I can't wait to use them for the Mains, yes mains as I plan on being in the A-Main (x3). Oh my bad, there is only A-Main (x1). Which brings me to a question.

How are you going to have a race, call it the State Championships and on have A-Main (x1), should it have been a two day race with Triple A-Mains?



Just had to get that out of my system.

No I don't mind, if you don't mind riding in the trunk. The front and back seats are reserved for my RC gear.

The format will be 2 qualifiers and triple A mains all on Saturday.

I believe he's trying to squeeze this into one day. We're the trial to see how it works.

It will be triple A's for the electric and a long A for the nitros. So the mains will be normal.

There will only be half the normal number of quals, though - only two.

Default Triple A's (YEA Baby!) NORRCA's doing IT!

Triple A's, I know I have no chance of being in them but maybe without the LOCAL HACKS (I/E Racers, "Capt Howie Excuse me") my driving skills will advance to another level or two.

I'm leaving Friday Morning regardless if it's raining or not, I'll be there at the drivers meeting for the final decision.

****DON! Southern Cali needs some NORRCA Events, maybe we can talk about a West Coast Winter Nationals, Parking Lot style with electric & nitro Cars and beginner trucks. Or maybe we can call it the Weekend Warriors Parking Lot Nationals. (it could boost the NORRCA Membership by 100 new members?

Oh I forgot the check the weather, I'll be right back
