No Lipos???? Bad move!!

Are you willing to pay for carpet if a car catches fire on track? The building owner would not appreciate any fire potential anyway. We pay very low rent and don't want to lose what we have. Keep the LIPOs on the outdoor tracks....

Peter, most likely the start time will be between 12 and 1. The first race of the season looks to be the 9th. We will have all of the details ironed out in two weeks and everything will be official.

Looking forward to racing at The Strand. Is 17.5 4c expected to be the class? Any interest in 13.5?

10-29-2008, 11:18 PM
we hope to see you at the strand doug. 17.5/4 cell will be the big class.... none of the regulars are running 13.5 that i know of.

the guys that go ga-ga over the 1/18 classes will love the rental rides this year.
