Lap times or not, track time to work on set-up and handling and a chance to drive the layout are well worth the time. Actual times are nice but do not mean much till you're close

Leisure hours has 2 computers. One is mainly used for practice and the other is used for racing. Both should be available on Saturday for their respective jobs. That being said....the only issue with having a computer set up for practice is hearing lap times. They use small computer speakers for the computers outside. So you'll either have to stand close or be able to manipulate the computer for the scoring system. If you're not sure how to use Live Time I'd suggest you NOT TOUCH the computer.

Plus if nitro is running you won't hear anything!

Be leaving in a couple hours, looks like the other person who was going with me isn't going to make it. I have a room with 2 beds booked at the Comfort INN, if anyone has not done so yet look me up.

FYI - Lap timer was on today and it was a great day to get some laps in and work on your setup and driving.

Thanks to Paul and Gravity RC for having a full practice day! We rarely get good practice days and this was a great one.

Man this stinks, I am on the fence. Sitting here in Indy looking at the Radar for Joliet and it looks like a complete washout but the hourly says only 60% precip. I am struggling with the 3.5 hour drive just to turn around and come back home if it is a washout.

How far did they get with the racing program? Any qualifiers run, did you get to discharge your battery?

I took a look at the website and am trying to figure out what time the track is open for practice or racing the week of August 24th. I'm now confused. I'd like to bring down my Pro10 and GT8 and run some laps just to see them at speed. I'll bring other cars and maybe a couple racers if they are available.
