It's on saturday so electric only. They don't mix the two at FTR. Should be a fun race. Time to work on the T4 :)

Will the track be in the same condition as the BK race? I'm talking traction-wise. Cause, good lord I hope so!

the track still has great traction,but you may need just a little bit of pin on the tires instead of slicks.should be lots of fun.

Fine by me. You always make some bad azz layouts. Can we keep the triple/quad/whatever-it-is?

Thats a good idea, Like what R&L used to do before there big trophy races when they had the older dirt.

Hey, how 'bout a sweet step up like the Nitro Pit had? Here's (http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=200687&page=11) some pics I posted about half way down the page. Can't help it, that had to be one of the sweetest tracks I've ever seen.

i dont think we have enough dirt to make a step-up like that,but i can scale it down a little,and maybe a stateline size quad???

or maybe just keep it tame,i guees we wont know untill we build it.

Should be a good turn out from the west side, unless they pull a Roy Dallier.... All Talk and no show. Sorry Roy, had too.

Nick and Clayton Max will be there. I know Duda is going too.

Can you or Paul do me a favor and save a couple pits spaces for myself and Jason and Jesse. We don't want to show up and not have a place to sit.

Thanks, Andy

Would that have anything to do with home track advantage? I think we need to drag their butts over here sometime this summer like we use to do at WOOR. Would be a blast.

Not as much as you would think. I think the West was outnumbered by a bit. There are some very good racers on that side of the state. Running at Al's with sick competition every week doesn't hurt matters.

I agree. Dont get me wrong I dont want to take anything away from the East guys. They have some great, talented racers over there. I'm just saying its always fun to get everyone together like the East West deal. We need to do it again a few times this year.
