Our dates have changed. We are now leaving on the 19th and returning on the 26th. I will be keeping in touch with a few friends that will post updates as often as possible. It's finally hit me, how cool this trip is going to be. After talking to Tony, he's entering this race with loads of confidence. Devon, haven't heard from ya since the nats. Hope your getting ready. Wife gave me the O.K. to start practicing as much as possible. Ling built me an awesome car. Should be fun!

Take a look in the NW forum here. There is a NWIC thread that has some pics posted a page or 2 back. I think there were some in the SIR thread also.
We had the first night last night to a great success. Had 28 entries all but 1 or 2 were new drivers to racing. Some had been on the fence, practice alot but no racing. Heard alot of good times had by all. Post up if you are planning on coming in. Sounds like we are getting a guest appearance from Marty in a few weeks when he is out for business.

2008 rules - I heard it was LIPO and brushless for all classes.
Unless the schedule posted prior is correct, then I guess it's silicone for all classes ?

Well looks like I better start getting ready for Japan. I just received a phone call from Nike confirming there sponsorship as well as Red Bull and Old Spice Deodorant.
Thats right I will be competing in the 2008 Turn Marshalls Worlds event. There will be some tuff competition out there but I will be representing the USA and I promise to bring back the gold from those short fast little asian turn marshalls they have out there in the Pacific Rim.
Devon maybe we can sit in the same row together.
Cya then

Awesome Track! what is the tire of choice RP30's and in Tamiya B3 or A's?
I will let you know when Bruce and I will show up for "Silver Can Saturday Night"
How does "Jack the Gripper" work? I bet it is a lot smoother with the carpet laid down? can't wait to try it out!!

Most have been running Sorex 28's due to a Nw championship we have running at about 5 tracks in the area. Not sure on 30's but they should be good also. As for Tamiya's your guess is as good as mine. The Tamtech kit slicks have been pretty good though......
We are a Jack track only, we don;t allow any mixing of compounds. It smoothed things a touch but not that much

Was curious why did SIR go from blacktop to carpet?
Seemed like it would have been easier to maintain the BT. I did see the new picts but saw nothing on SIR's website about it.
