Satoch was wearing a brown chore coat straight ahead when you came in from the track. Tall guy brown hair beard, glasses.

Kevin, had on a brown ball cap and sat near me, with his back toward your pit. All his trucks had checkered flag designs on the back half.

chitownracerlst was sitting on the aisle, closer to the track with another LST driver. Both their trucks were blue in color. He has dark hair, and I think for a while he was wearing a tan vest.

I started out with steering dual rate set at around 80% to calm it down, but had it at 100% in about 3 minutes! And I still need more travel and speed on the steering. And practice!

Bernie I would have gladly paid the $15.00 but I watched one guy go up to pay you to practice and you said something (and I may have this wrong), "Were going to race" so he put his money back and walked away.

Next time I'll make a point of saying I'm only here to practice and pay. I had no intention of trying to get over with paying. At the old track you paid when you walked through the door.

Dad, what I think he was saying when he answered my question was:

You can't collect for practice $8 then collect again $7 for racing. Practice is during the week. Racing is Sunday.

He wants the racers to be able to practice without general practice drivers who aren't staying to race. Your option is to pay $15 to practice on Sunday for three hours, and then decide if you want to race. It's not different than if I hadn't been able to fix our truck Sunday. We would have paid $15 to practice for 90 mins.

Thats fine, I think I need several more hours on the track before I'm ready to race and going during the week is not even an option.

That was my first time. Just give it a try. Yesterday was perfect with fewer "fast" guys there to run you over. Just keep an eye out for a day when there's a big race somewhere else, and go on that day. Saturday mornings 10am-3pm are Open Practice, too.

You can get out there at 10. I know Sunday is 8, but you kind of have to leave early unless you want to watch the eletric.

This weekend was a fluke because of the DD Trophy race. Saturday's are supposed to be Electric racing. You may want to double check before you make the trip.

I knew it started at 10, but was unsure what time the practice started for the eletric racing. I looked like 3 times, and forgot and didn't want to look again. I can't imagine how quiet it is during eletric only days.
