Dang mother nature! Glad it was called. Would have hated for people to make the trip and then it get postponed. See y'all next weekend.

I have been trying to decide between this and the Novelty pro series finals, but something came up and this seems to be the only option as it is a one day race.

I have gone to RJD before, but raced on the indoor track. What is the deal with the outdoor one? i mean, does it have a pit area setup like the indoor track, or do i need to bring an ez-up, table, air compressor, etc? Also, what tires do you guys normally run out there?

^ You will need to bring table, ez up, power cable and ect...... typical outside track set up. There is power up by the buildings and some spots at the Southern end of the track.

Tires...I've had luck with Impacts, Grid Irons, I-Beams and even Mega bites. Depends on track conditions so bring all your tires.

Food is available on site and if you want something else there are a number of places with in 5 min.
