Raises hand.

I just got into electric onroad, mainly because i dig the idea of racing vintage cars. So far its been a blast. Before transam caught my eye, i was only interested in off road stuff, mostly nitro.

Because its been so much fun, i picked up a db12 used at a great deal, and pre-ordered a db10. Transam has definitely been a 'gateway drug, i mean class' into electric onroad for me.

Yes - I raced off road last summer twice. And I wouldn' even count the first race day as I didnt start one heat, and didnt finish the other two. Total n00b.

Well you have a point, but there are few new people who race transam.

Indeed. I certainly don't claim that transam had brought in a ton of new racers. But it sure did bring me in and hook me. In fact, I'm still getting my ass handed to me in the C or D main, so my hope is i'm one of the few truly new racers and everyone else is more experienced, vs. just getting my ass handed to me because I just suck.

Default Those racing in the TCS events

Hey guys for everyone going out of town this year to run TCS and who live in the area we have a bunch of Type A sedan tires at the shop for GT1, GT2, and GT3 classes. If you are having a hard time finding these tires come on by and pick some up. The HTU Frederick website link is in my signature, with the address and phone number.

Results from this week at the "C" are HERE. Thanks for everyones support.

I'm thinking of getting a group together to help with a layout change. We can use all the help we can get. This Wednesday is the only day I can help, so please PM me or post here if you can lend a hand.

All The Best,
Casey
