It is only 132 if you include the pit lane.
170 X 70 would be fun.

Jimmy- any Red cup specials at the Nats?

just to clarify...
the tires you'll have in stock, will there be a variety, or mostly one brand

meaning you'll have 2 compounds of the 'burbs, BK's and barcodes each,
or just one brand or just one compound or what.

Probably not a big deal, but I was curious.

sidenote: so is calvert gonna be running SS or Mod now (meaning this event) since there's no more need for him to still only practice his stock driving skills?

From My understanding the shop should have a good variaty of tires in different compounds but I would wait for Jimmy to give more details.

Your sidenote can run what he wants since its not a Roar sanctioned event if I understand it right.

Personally I hope he runs with me in stock.

He can run stock if he wants. I believe at the shootout you are not allowed to run stock if you run mod though. You can run stock and super stock or super stock and mod but not stock and mod.

After being denied in 2008, I was stoked to see Brent was able to get the win. He's a really, really good driver and a class act at the track, it will be fun to see what he can do as he moves up in power, now. Any sponsors who are considering putting money behind him are very wise.

grapejuice - Yes I got it but I need to know who you are!!!

what up and bpspeed - We will have a TON of tires in stock for the shootout. We will have all the Losi, Proline and J Concepts tires you could want in stock along with all the wheels and foams. No need to buy anywhere else since all tires, wheels and inserts will be 20% for those signed up for the Shootout!!!

I just received 10 thousand dollars worth of Losi and Associated tires and wheels. 7 thousand dollars worth of J Concepts tires and wheels. Basically any tire, wheel and foam insert you could possibly imagine from Losi, Associated, Proline and J Concepts!!!

Hey guys.....just finished putting in the new layout last night and what a track!!! Alot more technical than we have had in the past but I figured this was an electric race so go big!!!! I think you all will be very impressed. We actually duplicated a track we had back in 2001 and it came out very similar. It was one of my favorite tracks we have had in here!!! Unfortunately we got done late last night and I did not get photos. Will try today.

This weekend is shaping up to be awesome!!!
