Props to the entire LH crew for running a super dialed program. The controlled practice was the perfect way to manage the crowds and keep marshals on the track.

Long weekend and had a great time. e-1/8 was a blast and the racing was fierce. Hopefully, we get enough for truggy next year.

Other than a confrontation with a certain racer, I had a very good time... Even qualified for the bump up to the a main, but declined to take it.

Hats off to the crew at Leisure Hours. You did a great job with the controled practice and moving the race program along. This was my first time there. Liked the layout of the track.

That slash b-main was pretty brutal to watch, we could hear the tempers lighting up.

Thanks. I couldn't believe I let Cramer slip by on that last lap. I was too focused on trying not to make a mistake or get caught up and left the door open. Definitely a fun race. I have been trying to watch and learn from all you fast guys.

Sounds like it was a good time. I only wish that it wasn't a two day deal and that it fell on the last day of the on road series I was racing in (got third in 1/12 and WGT ).

I did finish building my converted Losi 8T and it runs pretty good too. So next time if it's a one day race I'll bring a 1/8 e truggy.

I have one of those too. Problem is that I only have so much time on the weekend and two day races don't fit in for me. I wouldn't mind showing up for one qualifier and the main but if only the main runs the second day I can't make it. (However, with less than 10 entries for the class everyone would be in the A Main.)

Default Thanks!

I would like to put a big thanks out there to Scott Cramer and Bernie. Scott put a great event together and Bernie built one of the best layouts I have ran on in a long time. Probably since last years Chi Town Shootout.

Anyhow I know it was not just those two people who put this event on. So thanks to everyone who helped make this event what it is.

I will diffidently be back next year and for the Nationals in August.

Thanks,
JP
