Some of the guys that normally run that class went to Mimis on Sunday for their 2nd day of racing which was 1/8th for the big race. If you add the 1/8th guys that came last year and a few others that missed this week we could easily see 80 to 90 next week. As we get going more my guess is we will see more of everything.
It was super nice out on Sunday so a lot of guys still where finishing up outside stuff so that they can come racing.

Great Now if I can figure my 2wd out I will be happy.
Then I can try to beat you in 2 classes next week or loose in 2 classes.
I did get a new setup for Justin to try with his big bore shocks to. See if we can make his even better for him because its already better than mine. Great this just keeps looking worse all the time.
One thing nice is my Castle 3800 SCT motor in my 4wd after the 10 minute main was only 121 degrees. Man I can live with that. Means I can make it faster than I can drive it.

we're also in the air, so we need another 1/2 of traction.
I've got that durango buggy almost finished. I just need to do the links, shocks, and paint. I might have it done for sunday
Thanks for the awesome price on the kit, Chris! Just one more reason why Bumps is my favorite track.

If the track was freaking velcro they would then say something else is wrong with the track. And they wonder why oval is getting less guys all the time and offroad around the area is growing by leaps and bounds.

Def the most traction I have ever had at Bumps. Couldn't pull wheelies like Haashole but it was very tacky. I almost walked right out of my Adidas kicks a few times!!! Huge thanks to Chris and the crew for all their hard work. Thanks to Haas for taking his verbal beating like a man

bumps
Ah yes cant wait to bite into that first bumps burger of the season. Mmmmm mmm!
Lookin forward to putting some laps in with the sct's and also gonna try my hand at some 2wheel buggy action.
What's the shoe of choice this season at bumps for marshaling on that sick traction? Will my old dc's still hookup good in the rear? And what type of traction compound is everyone using?
