If anyone has a generator that I can tap into, I would be willing to pay for some gas. I would like to attend but I don't want to try and charge off my car battery.

I am planning on going to the race. Hopefully more folks will show up to race nitro.

I don't have a generator, tho. :-(

I've got a quick question. Will the Novak 13.5 be allowed in the stock class? Just need to figure out which speedo to put in the taxi cab. Also, will LiPo batteries be allowed? Thanx.

Bill.

I will arrive at the track area about 10:30 am to begin set up.
Any help would be appreciated.

We need to sweep the track area, set up the track and spray for traction.

If you would like to help and are available, it would be greatly appreciated.

We need push brooms.
Cordless drills to help with assembly of the track.
Spot lights for around the track.

Bring a Generator if you have one. Extension cord to share if your generator has the capacity to share. Please mark everything clearly with your name.

Thanks
Dan

Howdy,

Any chance that there will be rubber tires for sale at the race? They seem to be a bit scarce in the GR area right now....

Thanks,

Mike,
I know Carlos had some for sale... but not sure if he will bring them. Also Riders Hobby in Ypsilanti is providing parts support also. Hopefully they will have some.

DUE TO BAD WEATHER... 90% chance of rain and thunder showers.
We will cancell the race this weekend and reschedule for next Saturday September 30th. All the other information on the flyer is still applicable.

PLEASE TELL ALL OTHER RACERS YOU KNOW... PASS IT ON!!

Thanks for the support.

Unfortunately they are saying 70% chance of rain on Saturday thru the night. That along with the cold would not be very pleasant for any of us...
I can't see asking you all to come out and sit in the COLD AND RAIN.... I am really sorry......

I am going to call off the race this year. Mother Nature did not cooperate.
Please pass this info along to everyone you know.

Maybe we will have one in the spring or early summer.

Thanks for all the support.
