I don't think anybody from here is going down. We will probably go down when they have their big race, if they have it this year.

Todd said their big race will be a one-day race on Saturday April 6.  We'll have to go down on Friday night.  And, since it's one-day only, we might be finished too late on Saturday night to get back to the Island.  I'm sure Todd will have more scheduling details as we get closer.

Spoom and I had dinner with Panda (Kody) Todd and Jake on Saturday. Emerald City Classic is a one Day Show... and they are working out the details.

At TZII, I was running a rollout of 106 with my Thunder Power motor. Timing was set at 45* advance. I think Blake was running a little lower with the Revtech or D3.5, whichever he was using.

Nick,

If you have a Enhanced Driver's License, then I think your are good to drive across the border.  I don't think you need a second piece of ID beyond that.  Here's the link that confirms it:
https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/1192/~/canadian--citizens%2Fresidents%2Flanded-immigrants-entering-the-u.s.

If you are flying, then a passport (or Nexus card) is required.

cars good to go..cleaned, rebuilt, minor adjustments made.. a set of new tires, just in case.. also got a set of chrome compound fronts to test out..

from what ive read.. they grip like megentas, but have the diveability of blacks.. reportedly dont gum up and stay consistent, unlike true magentas

thanks again byron for the deals on some parts..cool little store there..

No.. But made the 12th stock Amain.. Somehow.. Didn't realize they run the same track every week.. Grip was high, and traction rolls were plenty..

I gotta work on my high bite setup knowledge.
