Let's get a roll call for this race.

Jason Abernathy#25
4300
Mod

Mark Steiner #10
4300

Always a good show!! Dont miss out on this one!!

AJ Strawn
4300 and if the crowd is large enough
13.5 as well.

I wish I could make up for the race I had a blast at the BRL Race but I have two much going on. Big car racing is starting up around that time and I don't have time to get a way. Have fun everyone.

Jason Jackson

Sorry to hear that Jason, but I do understand.

See you in Omaha.

Hey AJ, you guys going to be defrosted by then?

I talked to AJ last night, had that St Louis style no electricity thing going on :mad:

We were without power for 48 hours, man that's a long time, but some here in Iowa may not have power for at least a week. The biggest problem is that it is so boring, no nascar, no computer, no rc cars.

It does make you realize how dependent we are on our electricity, it's almost scary.

Hang on AJ it looks like its coming again. Some of our workers are down in the Burlington area now. I believe most everyone in around here had power back by yesterday afternoon.

The biggest problem is that it is so boring

With Iowa in general or not having power?!?! :hat:

Pat, some might argue that question, but I was referring to the lack of electric power.

See you in Omaha.

jim jerome
#11
13.5

I never miss a chance to pick on Iowa a little!!!

Hopefully we'll all be able to make it to Omaha. Looks like the weather will improve tomorrow though.

Jim Good
4300

Ken DeGood 4300 and maybe 13.5? Skippy 4300

I just got the call last night, sounds like the Monroe / S Wis. Drivers are starting to plan for this event. Couple questions, I heard the event was being pushed back a week because of Omaha, but I haven’t seen anything in this thread about that. Just want to make 100% sure. Is it on for the weekend 17 - 18 Th, also when can we get into the track to set-up, will it be like last year, Friday night after skateing?

Brian Cook = 13.5
Mike Hartman = 13.5
More to be listed later

aj , i need some claification on the race dates! i have already made hotel reserv. for the 17- 18, i need to know whats up? :confused:

No Changes on the Iroar Spring Race dates. March 17 & 18, just as originally scheduled.

Glad to see the guys from the Monroe area are planning on attending.

We should be able to set up after skating as we have done in the past.

If you can bring tables that will be a good thing as well.

Thanks AJ I was in panic mode :wave:

That was before I gave the boss the OK to go, :p
I’m not sure if using rabbit food is going to catch us an opossum, lol
I think were going to have to try something else. Hopefully after my first comment it won't be me and a flashlight :lol:

Modern Motel

Should be a very good time.

Trucks? What kind of trucks? E-Maxx? LOL Touring oval trucks would be cool.

What? Not enough tables this year?? LMK

KOKO, Some of the table at the rec center are questionalble, we have rented some, just trying to make sure that everyone has a good table, if you can't bring one that OK, we'll make it work.Some of the guys have been running offroad trucks on a r-oval and have been having a good time, usually no jumps.
