Hi guys,

Sorry there is no report yet. Wife's grandfather passed away so I am back on the road for a few days. Will do it when I get back home.

Countdown to Motorama! Heats posted!



FRIDAY:
As I had told everyone things are completely controlled by the MR management and as much as I know everyone wants to get in on Thursday night to set up their pit, that is not an option. That being said, I did talk to them about giving us some more time on Friday and they will allow us to open the pits at 7AM on Friday! So now you have 2 hours to set up your pits before the track opens.

TUNING AREA OUTSIDE:
As I have heard all kinds of stories from past MR events where guys were ripping their cars in the parking lot between parked cars to break in engines. this is something we don't want to happen so we have arranged with the MR organizers to have a sectioned off area outside the pits that will be used to break in engines, tune cars ect. This is the only area that you will be allowed to use.

PRACTICE HEATS:
As promised, here are the practice heats for Friday. Track goes live at 9am with heat 1 of Monster Trucks. Everyone is required to corner marshal after their practice heats.

Remember, for round 2 and 3 of practice, we will be using your 3 fastest consecutive laps from either round 2 or 3 to seed you into your qualifiers. I will do the reseed after the last heat on Friday night so you will not know what heat you are in until Saturday morning, the order of class will remain the same for Saturday's qualifying.

Now if you see a mistake in your entry info, wrong spelling, wrong class, transponder or you don't see you name in the listing. first of all DON'T FREAK OUT! It is a simple thing that we can fix and I can make the correction.

Next "Almost Live" Race Coverage: US Indoor Championships @ Motorama!




http://motoramaevents.com/rccars/

Switching it up from going to CRCRC has us going to Harrisburg, PA for the annual Motorama show. Will be the first time for me there and it looks like it will be a cool event. Ryan, Steve and myself are road tripping this one, but there are several other Canadians making the trip down for this. See you at the track!

Did some weighing and measuring of some wheels and took a look at some tires and foam too.
