Looks pretty much like it's going to rain. Well, %40 anyhow. Actually, I've never been to AJ's and since it's rained I hear that might be a good spot that's close.

Yes we are and the track has changed we put alot more turns in it. It is no longer just back and forth and back and forth, and few technical spots it should be fun tomorrow.

The track is nice and tacky thanks to the rain

Oh, I just figured the first change was when the back table top was fixed by removing the snow fence and added the burm, then adding a banked turn before the 6 pack which also got changed to a 5 pack.........but it sounds like it got a "real" change this time, I cant wait to see it

I was #2 qualifier in monster truck with a very nice almost error free 1st heat run. After that I had issues keeping the truck running which hurt in the next 2 heats and then the main. I ended up with 4th place in monster truck a-main. I believe brian won monster truck with his supermax.

eric was ripping it up with his lsp today. He was posting faster times than the pro buggy guys He ended up forgetting to but in a transponder for the main, and although we all knew he won, on paper he made no laps. Looks like it's transponder time for him, lol. Same stupid ass mistake I made last month.

BTW, the new track layout is awesome! Applauds are in order for those responsible for the track and it's newest change. A few high speed, high flying parts, and a few slower technical parts. Very nice mix. No more back and forth racing

It was a good day, we ran 3 qualifiers and the mains. We had a couple of glitches with the system today but nothing major. At the end of the day we found the extension cord we were using for the computer had a cut in and wires were exposed. It most likely shorted at some point is why the computer shutdown once. We started at 10:00am and were totally finished racing by 4:30. Pretty good if you ask me.

The new layout is very good. I really like how it has taken the track to a new level of difficulty. Good job fellow Dirt Dawg members on the changes made.

Tune you were driven good sorry you had problems. My LRM Predator was dialed in and handled awesome.
The new engine kept me in front of the pack so I could take first place in 2 qualifiers and the the A-Main.

Eric (eracer) can really put the truck out front running faster than the 1/8 scale buggies. The P5 is top notch and Eric drives that truck really good. Sorry to hear you forgot to install the transponder but we all no you won the A-main. Congrats.
