Thanks for the offer, but as you know,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,gotta earn it!!!!

Don't know about A main status since I only run electric touring maybe 6 times a year, kinda lofty for me, the consimate casual racer. But, I think the B may possibly be obtainable if I drive without my head up my,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,well, you get the idea. Plus a little luck,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hmmmm, correction,,,,,,,,,,,a lot of luck.

We'll see

For nitro TC, I'm not the best source of setup info because I just started running nitro, but 40's were far too hard. I had run some 35s and they were obviously plenty grippy, but I'm not sure how well they will wear in a long main. We'll probably just do a 15 minute main, so I doubt 35s will be a problem though.

If you meant nitro VTA, those run the same treaded HPI tires as the EP VTA cars.

Bring 'em out, bring 'em out, bring 'em out! It's hard to yell with the ......track full of nitro cars?

Just an FYI for all the NITRO HEADS

we are open to run longer Mains, i put 5 for everything on RCSIGNUP.com. Would depend a little on time and where we are in the day but i would say the A main will be at least 15 min.

Another thing to consider as far as the mains for nitro are concerned. There are times that marshalling for extended mains becomes an issue. As long as the nitro mains are marshalled by nitro drivers there is no problem. The problem sometimes comes in if and when an extended nitro main has to be marshalled by exclusively electric drivers. Some times the electric drivers may feel slighted since they don't race for an equal time that they are marshalling for, not an issue for me, but it is a legitimate beef.

Just be aware of this, it can all be worked out on raceday.

Good point Jeff. I'm thinking we should start the Nitro Mains first. It will buy more time for the Electric Classes to get those packs ready to go and the noise could be a problem going into the night.

We will decide as the day goes along but give you Nitro Guys early enough time to get ready for the Mains.

......... BTW, not to long to go!!......... Hope everyone is PUMPED for this one. We're expecting a HUGE Crowd........... Be a part of it!!!.......... Make plans to attend!
