thanks for the video. now i know where i'm gonna stuff hoopty every time i come up to lap him.

sadly, that's probably true...

i'll be more of a moving hazard than actual race competition... i just want to have fun and not be 'that guy' being everybodies pita. i promise to try hard and not just goof off.

maybe i should mount a ramp to the back so you guys can jump off me? or run the car backwards hooper style?

I posted my RC10 Team Car setup in the Readers RC10's forum for everybody.

Unfortunely I must bow out I wont be making it. I have to start a new career in the middle of my life, which means I am starting Collage that Saturday so I cant make it. that really Sucks! my car is all ready. I have tryed to rearange my classes but no dice. cant miss the first day of the rest of my life. maybe next year hope you all have a great time.

Sorry to hear you're not coming bro.

I'm in the same boat, but my classes start on Aug 23, and I have Fridays off

[bearrickster]

if was closer I would drive up after class but its like 10 hours away so I might come watch sunday if I can swing it ?

[adam lancia]

All the racing is on Sunday Rick, qualifiers through the mains...I think you can swing it

[bearrickster]

I know but 1400.00 for classes and 600.00 books + the wife is going full time also I will see if the wallet can swing it

This going to be a great race. It will be awsome to meet all of you. Also, does anobody want to car pool to save some money for gas ?

I agree!!!!

It's going to be great to see some old hardware tearing it up again. We have a fairly consistant amount of RC10 and 10T's running at RCHR on a weekly basis so I am more interested in seeing the Heavy Metal and vintage Tamiya cars running once again. See you there.

ERI Distribution just sent us some of the old vintage parts they had sitting on their shelves for the past 10 to 15 years.

Some really cool stuff to sell, I'll try to post some pictures

Are you planning on driving back and forth? Just one day?
Right now my plan is to drive from NH Saturday morning and return Sunday night.
I haven't booked my room yet-- I should probbably get on that!!

Anyone else out there from the great northeast?

[tazz888]

Mark,

Are you planning any canges to the track for the race?

[Mark Westerfield]

probably take down the large tabletop a bit, mostly a few small changes to help old cars from breaking and to make the big table top a bit easier to learn for guys that are coming to race for one weekend. Most of the layout will remain unchanged.

[MelvinsArmy]

I'm really wanting to run my Clodbuster. Would a Clod with a John Boyer frame be able to run in the vintage MT class, since Boyer chassis are not pre-94?

Sounds good. Those are the changes I was expecting. I was a bit concerned about breakage with the current tabletop.
