I will be adding details as they come around.

Come on down boys, we know how to race in Nashville!

[bscotti]

A request, Brandon. Is there a chance that we can get basic setup info/hints for different cars, like we did for the VONats? There are too many foam and rubber tire styles and compounds available!

[mrlexan]

I will put up some pics of my 1/12 scale molds hopefully this weekend.

[mrlexan]

Brandon do they have wireless there or even a T1 line? I'd like to do the same coverage as I did last year at the Off Road Nationals. Can you please check? Thank you sir.

[Brandon G]

Brian, I will get with Robert (track owner). He would be the one to talk to as far as setup and tires goes. Tires will be the biggie, of course.

Jay, I am pretty sure he has wireless. Rob is a big computer geek so I would be surprised if it wasn't there.

[mrlexan]

List of what I have is here: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=12839

I still need to jot down a few more of the 1/10 molds (need to look them up in storage) and prices/info will be posted later today.

Questions, let me know. Don't be shy.

Jay

Ok, I have Associated on board (confirmed), DA Graphite( confirmed) , TN Autograpics (confirmed), Putnam Propulsion (tenative) RC4Less (tenative), Dynotech (tenative) Futaba (possible)--and a few others on the block for door prizes etc I need a flyer or race info emailed to me so I can solidify these sponsors

[mrlexan]

Pics are up: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewforum.php?f=61

I will be going back to storage this weekend to get pics of the balance of them, specially the 1/10 versions.

[Brandon G]

Website is up. Nothing special, just info etc.

[mrlexan]

I'd like to start of list of whose going. Post to this thread if you are. Brandon, I will mod the first mod to include the list of members. There hasn't been much chatter about this and I hope that we have a good 10talk turn out.

[bscotti]

put me down as a yes. Of course, work may have something to say about that ...

[mrlexan]

I am kinda hoping that Mr. Clausen shows up with one of his old cars and takes everyone to school!

[markt311]

Specialty DJ's will be setting up and playing music during friday night practice and maybe Saturday night.

He can even play "vintage" onroad music, I know Reggie probably wants to request the entire Top Gun soundtrack!!

[Charlie don't surf]

Reggie's in, 12th scale, and Gearbox (2 entries)--Reggie may bring his own soundtrack

I invited Bud and Kent I hope they do

[Brandon G]

FYI, Robert will be running an offroad club race in the next room on Friday night. They start at 7PM. Most everybody runs DSM so this shouldn't cause too many problems.

He has 2 timing boxes, so laptimes for the practice will still be available for viewing.

With that said, if you guys want to get your RC Fix, bring your buggies and lets race Friday night too!

Also, I will be giving away 2 complete NIB See's Gold BBS aluminum wheels for the RC10L as part of the door prizes!
