Combine that with nitro racing Sunday, and you can be at the track 4 days out of 7.....and I guess that means all practice times for nitro are during Open practice.

I'm sure they will still have Nitro on Wednesday. The 1/18th is seperated from the main track...

It would be nice if they would combine 1/18th and Nitro on Sunday but I imagine that would mean two computer systems going at the same time.

Sundays are way too crowded, plus you would have freq issues.

RCDAD you where there yesterday, imagine in the pit area if they where trying to race mini's.

Wednesday is a good night for it. I liked practicing on wednesdays, but I will liek practicing on Thursday Now LOL

Nevermind- I just saw this on LHR's website.

Wednesday:
Nitro Practice & 1/18 Micro Practice
5:30 pm - 10:30 pm

So it likes they'll be running both.

As for the discussion on grooves on tracks... at the end of the trophy race you could see the blue groove perfectly. The thing is that they work the track over so much that it never stays around long. LH is an amazing track and looks so much easier to run than some of the dry dusty looking tracks I have seen in videos...
