Ill be coming down from Austin as well, to run Blinky Sedan. May bring my 12th out to turn some laps for practice.

Given that racing starts at noon, what time will the track be open and prepped/ready for practice?

Edit: Jesus, I need to spend more time actually reading the posts, instead of posting. Sorry.

What are the popular tires again?

Is everyone running 36s? Or are people moving to softer rubber now that it is getting cooler?

I believe the guys were running 32's last night but it was cool and also at night. The track acts completely different from day to night, especially if it is sunny. Its going to be a tough call depending on the weather.

The solaris hards seem to hook up good and they have a few sets in the hobbyshop. Also if anybody has a Vta car they wanna run we should have at least 4 already. I cant wait.

Default Tires for MM

Since we are not running a spec tire, I don't recommend Solaris Hard's to anyone.

Sweep 32 or 36 seem to work.
Daytime wise Sweep R40 or OGs seem to work well.

There will be Video Cam for Dec 3 =D

Test Footage after some Major Software updates to get my cam take decent night video footage w/o heavy equipment =D.
So it should be easy for Daytime race footage on Dec 3rd

+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.

Sorex/Muchmore 36's work well all around, but may need warmers or 32's at night.
