Usually it's the biggest class there with 2 full heats. Instead of complaining, just get the car ready. Stay positive. There are many club races and trophy races coming up this year.
Again, a misunderstanding, but not a big deal. I wasn't referring to "racing" (I'll be racing at NorCal)...I was referring to "practice", as in, during the week, as there's no one left in the Bay Area with a full-time on-road track (since Sheldon's converted theirs to a drift track).
However, someone else did mention about getting cones, and creating my own 'track' in an empty parking lot (not much different than how NorCal races on-road), which is a viable option. Just not sure how many cones I'd probably need, or what the cost of the cones might be. Truth-be-told, be as I type this, I'm sitting in the NorCal parking lot, waiting for them to open (any minute now), to pick up the HW XR10 Pro Spec ESC. I'll check with Eric, Dakota, or whoever is opening today.
