I've always been a huge fan of this amazing series the Mr. Lightfoot started. Lots of plans to keep it going and make it just as exciting as it once was!

Best format ever that I've never raced. Going to be fun, looking forward to it.
From what I've read, most things are the same. Some a little different. Probably some adaptation yet to come as things progress, who knows. Be patient folks, and let's race!!!

Anyone got a spare 25.5 to sell?I haven't been racing much anymore but this series brings back good memories. Like Lyman pushing the rules to the limit with his homemade contraptions and Calvin crashing out as he always does.

How can you top that?
Today was awesome!
Some day, some how, club racing needs to take on this quick qualifying, multiple (3 or even just 2) mains format.
Regardless of which main you are in, you are racing all others in your class each round.
Our B Main winner (same guy all 3 rounds) was faster than all but one of the A main racers (same guy all 3 rounds), and was 2nd overall for the day!
He just had a rough qualifier but was by no means out of it for the day.
Race all day, not qualify all day!
Thanks Tony P. for gettin this fire lit again and thanks Sean P. for letting us take over TQ RC RACEWAY for round 1!!!!
