OK.. i know some of you are interested in this event.. I got a list of 15 or so racers from mentions of this race possibly happening... hope the intrest is still there... this if going to be fun....

Billy

There is going to be an event? Sweet

I am so glad that someone has stepped up to the plate.


Looks like the electric class will be my cup-of-joe, 7.4V Class. My project has been sidelined for anther year, spent all my money on some cute nurses when I had radiation in Febuary.

"Medusa Research" has stepped up their support to sponsor the "Medusa Research Pit Tent". which as of right now is a 20ft x 30ft tent and tables for racers coming from out of town to pit under so they don't have to bring heavy items like tables and chairs in the car or worry about having a place to pit if flying in. If more space is needed the tent size will increase...

And of course thanks to Hank for having Hobby Talk come on board....

Billy

Quick correction... Few guys have been confused on the motel rooms and dates.... the Date of the event is Oct 4th... the cut off date to recieve the motel "ISC" discount for the rooms is Sept 3rd.... you must reserve your room by that date to get the discount.

Also.. we are welcome to have "Team Associated" come on board to suport the ISC event ... welcome .. and glad to have you....

Billy

Little over a month to go guys... get your entrys in....

Billy

Check this out! :)

Dave...YOUR car?

Yes it is.

Wow Dave
Your cars looks good!

Hey Guys
***We are going to a limit the number of entries, to 80***

Since the WFRCCC events yielded so few attendants we did not put a limit on the amount of entries. But there seems to be a lot of interest – and after doing the math --- the 2008 International Speed Challenge, Might even, turn into a 2 day event.

So
Get your pre-entries in & plan to be flexible.
This is event is gaining more & more momentum. It now has the attention of Speed TV!



Speed is Cool

Don't forget guys... Sept 3rd is the cut off for Motel reservations for special prices for this event....

Billy

Hey Nic,

I'll be waiting for you to set the bar for the 2S lipos record and then I'll try to chase it down.

Thanks Nic.

So.. Is this event 1 or 2 days?

Check this out! :)

.....

Thanks Nic.

So.. Is this event 1 or 2 days?


Dave.. this is a ONE day event..it could only be shifted to a two day if we reach the 80 entry mark and beyond...... we have a number set for pre-entrys for us to go ahead and switch to two days.. but right now we are wll off the mark for a two day event right now.

Realisticly if we have 80 entries we could get it all in one day.. just by adjusting the start time planned for noon... to an earlier start.

Billy

Hopefully this won't happen at this years event.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP0ukD-kJaU ...... ouch....

Billy

Gates open at 8am... test runs till the 10 am drivers meeting ... where we will set the timed run schedule.. depending on the number of entrys signed in.


Come hang out .. watch two NHRA Pro Stock Teams test as well....

Billy

Can my solar car compete too?
