Have not consulted with the leadership but I am leaning toward our normal race fees.....

We have talked about doing a "big" race or "special" race in our points series so we will see about that in the future.....

B.S. No semi checks allowed.

Jump in with both feet brother. You will be fine!

I will as soon as I get everything together. I'm still short an item or 3. Once it's complete and broke in, it will be GO TIME... And by go time, I mean a buggy on its lid time!

Talking through PM ya'll better have your A+ game as some heavy hitters will be joining us from the ATL area for a majority of the races!!!!!

A well controlled 13.5 will fare better than an out of control 4.5

But watching the slashes on 4s parachuting through the air is awesome, and amusing trying to land with nothing but a prayer!

Lets not,

1 - Lets get everything back running again, and get the re-startup kinks worked out the first race. Then katy bar the door, its on!

2 - Selfishly - I can't be there on the 13th. Prior commitment that I can't and won't get out of. I am a leader with the middle school youth at our church and it's fall retreat weekend. Its a big deal.

You really need to turn spell check on.

Yes Brian main point limited to 2s and I stated that the mugen convert is 1/8 like the sc8, and so no one said the SCT-E is a converted buggy I had to put 810 is 1/10th. What the main thing is if your going to run make sure your on 2s nothing more in 4wd sct. MAH and C rating are not limited.

Check 1/8th Scale Nitro Sportsman. If I win (longshot) or come in second (longshot) in the N.Georgia Summer Nitro Series, I will bump myself to Pro. Currently in 4th place. Tomorrow should be interesting with the Battle at Battlefield.
