Hey Eric I talked to Bernie this morning and racing will be indoor this sunday. He had to winterize the track due to the freezing weather we had. So outdoor is finished for the season.

How do you winterize a track? Like take down all the tubes and stuff?

I would think that winterize the track atleast means blowing air in the water lines so they dont freeze. No clue whatelse would have to be done.
But we are indoor. Nice

I only have Bowtie MT's and Crimefighters. I dont really like either one on the indoor track compared to my Boa C's, which are unmounted right now because the foams were shot and Im waiting for new wheels and foams.


Im going through the buggy now, changing all the oils and some of the setup.
I have the old switches for it, so I might just transfer the servos/radio box, engine/pipe on over from the ST-R and give buggy a try for my first time ever!

Bowties are ok, but I think they seem to get slicker as the day goes on and the track dries out some.... Boa C's are better though IMO.

Im just going to change everthing over to the buggy and run it.
Ive never even driven a buggy before, so Im looking forward to trying it out.

Im planning on getting a new engine for the truggy anyway, so the V-spec can just stay in the buggy
