it's been a while since a I raced in the TCS. I am considering attending the race at Harbor Hobbies. I was wondering why they would choose to run a race in Omaha in the middle of February?

What else are you going to do in Omaha in February other than race carpet?

It's an awesome facility indoors with heat. And knowing NE it could be freezing or 50 degrees outside haha.

That's true!



And actually, It's not like they know what a real winter is like here.

The real question is why Valentines Day weekend. For us out of town'ers, it shall define the real men of RC (of which I am NOT... After 21 years, I know better).

Valentines Day is a misnomer, it's real name is "Hostage Night' - for that cheap SOB old man who never, ever otherwise takes the ball and chain out anywhere for any other reason. The experience is ruined by the "Hostages" Restaurants are overworked and overbooked. Food is meh, service is spotty. Work out a deal to take your wife out TWICE and not on that particular day. Take her out once early (and bring her flowers) as a down payment to show you are serious. It will cost you less for 2x nights out than one on Hostage Night (prices are totally jacked up to gouge the Hostages).

Last time me and the Mrs. went out on Hostage Night, I think we went bowling and to a movie, which was fun because there was nobody else there and we had the place to ourselves.

Spot on Craig. If only I know my rc cars like you know your valentine, I could be a bit faster.

That's why you take them out the 12th or 13th. No wait..no people and the Mrs is still happy...then they get to relax in a hotel or shop for the weekend..never heard a complaint yet!

And if you spoil them all the other times it really shouldn't be a problem!!

Anyone that's within driving distance that doesn't make this race is missing out...top notch facility!!!

Tamiya noobie here. I think my last Tamiya car was the OG Clodbuster :-)

Anyways, I was thinking about getting my son involved in the TCS series this year. He'll be running the novice/spec class. I read the rules and I know you can run only the TT-01 or TT-02 chassis. I'm sure they are similar but any recommendations of one over the other?

Thanks!

We run the 01 chassis as do most of the drivers we ran into last season, We haven't seen an 02 yet after the first one at MRH
