Hey Shawn,

Craig went out there today to check it out with the organizer.  I am not sure when setup will be just yet - I'll talk to Craig on Wednesday and we'll get some info posted.  Sounds like about eight racers from Vancouver will be joining us which will be cool.

Rob,

Can you bring some stairs out to Sidney?  Might need them for the driver's stand.

Ok, nitro car is some what clean and back together after being a parts car last weekend. New transponder installed and test run with my starting box and igniter, as it turned out the igniter needed a new battery. I hope to run it a few times befor the outdoor season ends then I will do the teardown in the winter to see how it works and goes together.

Touring car has the new Tekin RS Spec speed controler instaled. Heat sink/fan rotated 180* to put the fane on the top slightly forword of the motor instead of behind it. New gorilla tape chassis protector and spec tires installed.

Lets go racing!

Neil.
