Default Entry Fees are on the way

I look forward to racing this track in 1/8 Open Class.

Houston is one of my favorite cities.

Team KYOSHO AMERICA New York will be "in the house"!
See you in three weeks.

How are entries looking so far? I'm wanting to come but can't confirm yet. Is there a listing of hotels nearby also? Which airport is closest, George Bush?

Thanks!

Jonny,
George Bush Intercontinental is the airport that you want to use. The track is around a 10 min. drive from there. As far as the hotels, I will be posting the list on Monday the12th. We are waiting on one more hotel to confirm their rates. The entries are coming along nicely. I have had a lot of verbal commitments from top drivers that are still finalizing their plans and the list is growing. I will be posting it as we get further along. Look forward to having you join us for some TX style fun.

Hey Jeremy,

Me too!!! But I should make the pre-worlds and maybe a weekend race were I do not have to miss much work and where the weather will be more like during the race time. When are the pre-worlds???

I have heard about you being a new addition to the track and hobby shop. I have heard nothing but great things about your help to the area. Good to hear and hope things go well for you and the racing in your area.
