There is talk about it coming next year.
We filled 15 bearings with carpet fibers, that could not be cleaned out. We had to disassemble the entire drivetrain every run to clear it back out. During practice and the first round of qualifying, the track was closed to sweap the "fuzz tumbleweeds." They were up to 1" square.
Felt like racing 1/8 scale for an hour long main after 5 minutes. Track did improve over the weekend, but still wasn't the greatest.
The track was difficult and traction was very hard to come by. As you can see, almost everyone struggled. Paul struggled to adapt, but Juho ran very well all weekend.
I do have some pics, but no time to post until I get home tomorrow. I was too busy getting caught sleeping in the pits
Turd...out
