great track, nice people, food and drink on site.
I think the whole milwaukee crew had a good time.
I would skip the watering and shorten the warmup time. That would save an hour.

Warmup time of 3 minutes would be plenty

I agree, 3 minute warm up is all that is needed. I also think they should go back to splashing the dry spots after every race during the warm ups.

Default 1/8th Main Results

The results printed were correct. Somehow the PC was set to do staggered starts, not on the tone. I made changes to make this harder to change by accident. So the winners time was 14:45 or so, but his clock didn't start until he hit the loop for the first time. So if the timer was started when the Start tone sounded, the times would have had about 25 seconds added to them.

Matt,

Last I heard was sometime in the fall. I guess we are still fighting the f**k*n' city on some things.

The owner said if they take down their billboard out front they can have the permit.

Maybe if Erik would stop flying his helicopter over the mayors house they would be able to get the permit.

I just got an email from some of the guys in the Chi-town area and they are planning to come to the rock pile this Sunday. These guys are very fast, it should make for some very good racing on Sunday you won't want to miss it that is for sure.

Matt, no doubt, I could use a good hacking from you. Maybe I'll give one back for ol' time sake.

This looks very nice. Do you have a class for "newbie's"? I just bought an 1/8 buggy, and it is my first venture into nitro.

Default Hey Takt!

You're only a "Newbie" once, Come to the track Sunday and someone will be glad to help you get signed up. Or ask for Brian There will be three Heat races ( Time trials ) .Depending on how you do in the first heat, places you with other similar skilled racers in the next heat. And your best heat out of three determines where you start in the Mains . So New or old there is a place for you to race,
