Hey, Guys,

If anyone here is interested in running the 10 car minimum classes: Pro10 or World GT (narrow your chassis to 200mm, use a 1-cell Lipo, 13.5 Lilac tires and a WGT body), or 1/12, post here and I will get the names to Chris Lim.

I'd be down for WGT and 1/12 stock.

Chatted with a few folks here and there about this. I think the move is to run 1s LiPo with 10.5 motors which most folks already have from Pro10. From what I have heard, there are at least 4 mainlanders into running the class. Anyone from IROCC up to it?

Hey, Guys.

Who needs Jack the Gripper for Chilliwack? Please let me know and I will pack up enough for us. Should arrive here today or tomorrow.

Looks as if there are a few WGT drivers coming from Alberta, BTW. Anyone else from Victoria other than Brian and me?
