That's a lot of practice!!:tire::D

They heard you might be coming and knew you would need at least 20 hours of practice. They gave you an extra hour for food and potty breaks!
You better be there Matt!!!!!!!

Wish I could make it.....was trying to reschedule a conflict with that weekend and then a meeting for work was scheduled for Friday....looks like I'll have to miss this one for another year:cry:

Thanks for posting all the necessary info Scott. I didn't want to speculate on anything so I left it wide open for ya.:nod:

Can't wait for March 6th! See you all there.;)

Even if you get there at 4 or 5 on Friday, you'll still have practice time!

Time for the Donut to travel! :)

I don't know. After reading Due's post about his girl-like driving maybe it's better he stay in Cheeseland. I don't want to NAIL him. Gee. That DOES sound kinky. Go L7!

1/8 E Buggy / 1/8 E Truggy... This is a Joke Right?:flaming:

Any flyers available yet? I know of a bunch of racer coming from Trackside.

How many people usually attend this race? Maybe a better question would be how long you think each round would be? Kid has a b-ball game starting at 1:30. gets done by 2:30 which would put me there about 4:00 or 4:30. Figure I will miss at minimum 1 round possibly 2. Not sure if it would be orth it then. Never know though.:confused::confused:

Can't we all just get along?:nod:

I am just hoping there is different practices for them.... thats all

That would be fine with me. Controlled practice would be a good thing.
