OK guys, we're just about 1 week away ... any one else as excited as I am? I am so ready for some vintage racing! RC10T is ready, Yokomo is just about there.

i'm usually very excited for this. not so much this year. i gotta get my mojo back!

This time a week from now, I will be somewhere over the Atlantic ocean on my whey to NY. My Tomahawk is ready to go along with some spares, so I’m stared to be a bit exited.

Team Soup is ready!

Oh it's goin' down next weekend...

RC10 Team Car is all set to go.

Will run my RC10T this weekend at RCHR to look for "bugs."

I have two YZ10s which are ready to go. They're both quick and I've been practicing

Guys, just wanted to let anyone who's coming know a bridge is out. very easy detour around, just wanted to let you know.

Does not look like I will be going this year. Please someone bring a camera/video and get some good coverage for those who are not going.

i might not be running classic, my manta ray's gearbox is screwed. bummer too, i was really excited to race it.
no way i can get all the parts in time now.

might just be 2wd and heavy metal for me. i do have a blitzer, i may try to get that ready for classics.

Kaiser, let me me know specifically which parts you need. I may be able to hook you up.

i think it's the two metal gears in the rear gearbox, the one that inserts into the spurn and the idler.
the idler looks like a sawblade and it's loud and doesn't want to free wheel, which also means the diff gear is probably worn bad too.
