Hey all,

It's basically a dead heat between the 13th and the 20th.  Personally, I'm leaning toward the 20th as it gives a little extra time to get ready.  Let's give it another couple of days and we'll make a final decision on the weekend.

Post by: Blake on October 07, 2012, 11:37:38 PM
Hey all,

Let's kick things off on the 13th since it sounds like there are some racers from Nanaimo that would like to join us.  I have all the traction wash and I'd like to get it distributed to those who need it, and I am away on the 20th for work.  The 13th will NOT be a points night - but we'll run at least two rounds of qualifiers and mains after some extended practice for everyone.  If your car is not quite "together", bring it out and get it finished up at the track.  If anyone needs help with wiring, car setups, rollouts, driving, etc... this will be a great night to do that.

Oh, and Jarrod's car will be the target since he'll be the only one with a new car!

Official classes will be 12th Scale 17.5 and 18R, but bring your WGT for some practice, or if we have any extra time.

Traction wash is $10 per can.

*** I need someone from Nanaimo to take Matt his order of traction wash if possible.

See ya there,
Blake

Good chance My car might be together, even if its not I will be there to buy traction wash. I was sad to hear the B&G club is moving as this is the first racing that is close to my house, within 5 minutes.

Craig has a big order of tires on the way, but there is no guarantee that it will arrive before Saturday.  I have a couple of sets that I will bring on Saturday for those in desperate need.
