Yes, Practice Schedule the week prior will be normal 4-8 practice schedule.. Open Practice for 2pm to 9pm Friday. Doors will open at 7am both Saturday and Sunday. Nothing has been decided yet but I would imagine we will have a 1hr practice session both days.

ALSO: If you have not reserved your hotel room yet you you have till Friday 2/21 to lock in the discounted guaranteed room and Rate. After that you are on your own.. The IL JR Wrestling event is in the area that weekend as well so Hotel rooms will be at a premium.. We have about 8 rooms left on our block..Get them before they are gone!

Sound fun! Great idea!!

R/C Sign up should be back up and running today from what I am told... If it stays down we will address registration differently but for now we want to keep it all in one place.. You will be able to register and then pay upon arrival.

Just a quick note on Load in Friday March 14th. Doors will open at 2pm. Pit space will be 1st come 1st served. Please have you transponder number loaded into RC Sign up when you register if you have not been to Race Em R/C before or if you have made any changes to transponders used. This will greatly speed up the registration process and allow the racers to get loaded quicker.

There is a mix. Some use super soft and some soft. So J concepts blue or green. And the track will be changed the week before so there will be lots of grip. We are 5 weeks in on this layout and still has plenty of grip. . Hope that gave you your answer.

I should have asked this as well but I'm assuming you are running indoor type tires, but I've been places and that assumption is wrong.

What is the popular go to tire? (Bar Code, Bro Code, Dirt Web, Pressure Points?)

I run bar codes in buggy. And pressure points in SCT. I've used bout every tire. I feel those offer the most consistency for this surface.

While looking at a calendar today talking about going to a Supercross race, I realized I will not be in town for this. Flight and hotel already confirmed for my employer to send me to our location in Ohio. I was really looking forward to this race.
