I am guessing that with lipo now the mini class must have a min. weight?
Where is everyone attaching ballast?
Thanks...almost had to miss this one to call a race but plan b worked out...see everyone sunday.
You should be in for a good laugh...last car I drove was Mugen Mrx4x...should be easy transition.

OK,so there's a 40% chance of rain on Sunday. Do we have a Plan B?
Maybe go back to the old store on the carpet track (not after Q's like last year, I mean if it's raining in the AM)? Would hate to see everyone drive all the way up here and then not be able to run...

You know New England if you don't like the weather wait a minute, its down to 30% chance of possible thunderstorms, the forecast was worse when I left for Glen Burnie.

Can't go back to the old store. They are completely moved now.

Due to the fact they just moved there the driver stand wasn't complete as of yesterday when I was there.

Weather report keeps looking better each hour. There is no Plan B as the old shop is closed and the parking lot at the old place is all torn up. So do your NO RAIN dance and we should be fine. I hope.
Drivers' stand is some metal scaffolding with a step ladder to get up on it. Clearly these guys are in a transition period and we'll just work with them to make it all happen tomorrow. Nice bunch of folks who are doing their best to put on a good show for the TCS series.
Track is kinda bumpy and cracked- very much like what we all used to race on 15-20 years ago before we had the luxury of purpose-built asphalt tracks. We worked on setups today and hopefully have figured out enough that we'll be good tomorrow.
See you all at 7:30 am!

Yes Bill, it was another Red Dot day!
Ray K TQ'd and won Mini and I finished 2nd- both of us powered by Red Dots
Todd Marshall won F1 with Greg K (who TQ'd) in 2nd- not sure which motors they actually used in their A Main, but they both have Red Dots...
I won GT3 and Randy Tucker finished 2nd when Todd's (non Red Dot) motor roasted. Both Randy I were Red Dot Powered
Austin Vacek won both GT1 and GT2 (light field in GT2, as has been usual this year), with Bill Vacek 2nd in GT2 and Randy Bernard 2nd in a very moist GT1 final.
Nice day of racing, many thanks to Chris for hosting.
TCS ROCKS!!!
