SMC is a decent budget brand though they can't really be charged at high 20A-40A rates without risk of damaging the cells, the shop at Thornhill has some quality budget packs too, many folks have been charging them at 40A without issue.
Turf racing has significantly died off once Thornhill started watering the dirt track to keep tire wear down, almost everyone jumped over to dirt. You might want to consider getting your wheeler setup for dirt, sometimes they get enough 17.5 entries to run on turf, but it's been very hit and miss lately. Turnout for Wed night racing is also low, If you can show up tonight to race, that would be a huge help. 1/10 racing in general has also been on the decline, many folks used their stimulus money to upgrade to more expensive 1/8 gear. The 2 most popular classes right now are 1/8 electric buggy and 4WD SCT.
I'll bring an extra set of dirt tires for your wheeler if you want to run with us tonight!
Anyway, welcome back!
