Not me. Money's tight and I'm too old to leave Friday after work and be home Monday morning like I used to do.

I used to strip my car after every race, now I try to find time to be sure nothing is falling off, loose or misaligned. Helps when the track is kept nice and clean like it has been lately.

It would be nice to see you plus odd's are they are gonna run 3-4 heats on sunday with mains and you'd be back by midnight with full nights rest

Nighty night

p.s. It was nice all your positivity/support when I was racing. Things we're really tough for me in those times and even though things we're "interesting" racing at that carpet track with an 12th supreme enthusiast as your self was worth the 4 hr round trip I made to Tuscon once a week from chandler AZ

Maybe I will come to race with you and Rat in C.H. and the owner

Ya... i start with them the same length. like said above make sure the servo is tight and striaght,normally the servo horn is gonna be off a click and then u sub trim it out. also make sure ur epa in the steering is ok and ur turning radius is even normally a 5-10 diff is the most u want if more then somethings wrong with either ur servo or turnbuckles.

3-4 Heats ?

I believe practice is Sat, with racing on Sun.
Sean pulls a good group of racers, we rarely get out of there before 6pm on Sundays.
Expect at least 15 Heats...

That is a hell of a price...is that the normal price or sale? How do the compounds compare to other brands? Are they on Jaco Prism rims?

Stormer will have the tires in stock next week!!!

They will have Yellow, black, white and Grey next week. Same compounds as Jaco and others. Pink and magenta will be available soon. The tires are on the Enetti black carbon wheel.
