Yes:
1) remove car from track
2) turn off power switch on ESC. THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!
3) turn off radio
4) exit track area
5) open adult libation
6) rinse, repeat.

I knew someone had an "end all" answer. Thank you sir. I look forward to this libation and watching the monster horse power you create.

A little CA on the bearings will slow you down plus a little on the edge of the front tires will help too. Please remember It's going to be like "Mini's Gone Wild" this weekend!

TCS 2012 at the Coliseum is in the books, and was a great success. Turn out was huge, and the event was smooth.

Standing Applause for Ed Z. Ed managed the event about as well as any I have seen. He kept things going, and ended in good time considering the number of heats.

Great Event!!!

All true, Larry. Takes a lot of work (props not only to Ed Z but also Dave Banks who managed tech AND ran two classes with some help from Dave Vacek) and a lot of cooperation from the participants to make an event like this come off as smoothly as it did.

I had a great time, as did everyone to whom I spoke during the weekend. Truly a class venue and an awesome group of folks.

Many thanks also to everyone who ran TCS legal Red Dot motors this weekend. Two class wins (Mini and FF03), lots of podium finishes, great driving. You guys rock!

Sorry Dave & Dave. I forgot to mention your important contributions to the success of this event. Tech was smooth and painless.
