Above is the answer to the question... "What is an example of ADD?" "thumbsup" I am with you brother.

If the 1.9/2.2 rock racer track looks like it's going to be a mud pit (likely), I will bring my Franken-FOFF rig instead of my rock racer... and safety glasses and boots. ;-)

I am probably bringing 3-4 rigs. A Rock Racer 2.2 or 1.9 (I have Pro-Line Slash tires on mine), a scaler most likely, Franken-FOFF, and my comp rig. I think that will be more than I can handle in one day.

[BL44ST]

if i show up, is there a waiting list if someone cant compete... doesnt meet regulation or someone just doesnt show up?

 

[O.C.D.]

Above is the answer to the question... "What is an example of ADD?" "thumbsup" I am with you brother.

If the 1.9/2.2 rock racer track looks like it's going to be a mud pit (likely), I will bring my Franken-FOFF rig instead of my rock racer... and safety glasses and boots. ;-)

I am probably bringing 3-4 rigs. A Rock Racer 2.2 or 1.9 (I have Pro-Line Slash tires on mine), a scaler most likely, Franken-FOFF, and my comp rig. I think that will be more than I can handle in one day.

HOLY SH!T

We won't get access to the space until the week of the event, so final setup will happen that week. All the man made courses are being completed along with the substructures for the natural rock courses. ... so no more pics yet.

if i show up, is there a waiting list if someone cant compete... doesnt meet regulation or someone just doesnt show up?

The decision was not to do a waiting list. Post that you need a ticket in this thread and see is anyone has one available. I have seen at least a handful of transfers in the last week.

HOLY SH!T

Still waiting on the tranny and waterproof Traxxas servo from and ebay auction... so no dirt yet.

That is intended for the small retailers that just sell under their screen names here and have a blue star. Sorry only for retail sponsors. I am not going to get into printing people's screen names on the shirt.

 

[stampedeproject]

So.... good news. Hopefully we are all in for a show. Axial pre-paid for a spot in case Bender could make the comp and.....

I just got of the phone with Brad and looks like he is 90% sure he will be making the comp.

"thumbsup"

That's good to hear. Last time I saw Brad was last year at the Indoor in KC. Heck it was the last time I got to see just about everyone else as well.
