I'm working on getting my Saturdays off in November. That will bring a few more slow cars into the mix. It's tough with the holidays.

Thanks Eric, we figured it out. Wasn't too hard, only had enough to run 1/12

Is anyone going to practice tomorrow? I really dont feel like going up there if no one is going to show up.

Is anyone going to show up tonight? Are Thursday nights more preferable for everyone? I can do Thursdays instead of Tuesdays if more people are going to show up.

I can do Tuesdays. I must admit that after reading all of this I still don't know what is going on. 1) Are SCTs racing on Saturdays in November with jumps? 2) Are SC10 fronts still legal all the way around? 3) If there is no permanent race director/promoter then how are the races organized?
I believe that what Ken said once is true, "SCTs are the bread and butter of the track.". If I can bring my kid to the track and have fun with her, then I can race my on road cars. Without the kids jumping the trucks and having a good time I can't justify using my few days off racing a VTA by myself. I have two bnib 17.5 Killshots waiting to chase Slow Poke around the track, but I need to know if the trucks are going to run. If I need new tires that are different than the sc10 fronts I need to know. I am planning to be available for track time November 2, 9, 16 so far. I'm only in town a few days a week but would like to hang out at the track again.

I can tell you that I was told.

1. They will be racing off-road classes on Sat.
2. The Associated RTR front tires are 100% legal. The current tire list is not
wrong it just never got finished. Any rubber S.C. street, slick or block tread
tire will be allowed even if not on the list. This tread rule will also apply
to the S.T. class.

Your tires are fine, your motors are fine. Tues vs. Thurs just referred to practice. I sent you PM.

Yes we will have the jumps back for the SCT's and ST's. We will have somebody at the track that knows the system and can use it.
