530pm-1030pm is open practice. Nitro and electric. It's a very high traction clay/dirt track, get the right tire ready. Bow Ties hook up awesome there although it seems the clay likes to stick to them (and all tires). You may just want to clean your tires every couple tanks, they have a big sink. I run the SportTraxx tires and those hook up pretty well. I will see if I cn make it out there for a couple hours, probly not though. Since I'm leaving Thur-Sun I'm sure my wife will have a fit about me going.

I think will be out there around 8:30ish. Were coming from the oakbrook area, so we will most likely wait until rush hour dies does a little before we hit I-55 and head down there.

I will have to get there sooner than 8:30 due to I work 1st and 3rd shift so I need some sleep. I may just fight the traffic or find some alternate routes to get there and get a couple hours of running in. I sure hope my new pipe comes in today or tomorrow to do some testing and tuning to see what it unleashes or maybe hinders.
I'll have to get the new 40's bowties nice and dirty too.
I have a new body that I am getting ready to paint so I may run my old stock body or my latest cage, not sure which.

well no pipe today, but I will try to make it if I do not break at lunch time. A guy at work saw a guy driving a nitro truck at lunch yesterday by my work and I am going to see if I can find him today and maybe get some good runnin here before I go tonight. I did a lot of changing in my truck and I have yet to run it.

anyone go last night? I was there from 6-8:30. Just long enough to almost run out of fuel, kill and recharge my hump pack, destroy my stock body, dent my header and above all else find out how much I really suck at driving yet. Practice, practice, practice........the truck ran great, tons of power and speed, although I will change my gearing to the stock 20/72 due to the short track length. It was quite busy last night, around 8-10 guys when I left. The place has ventilation but there was just too much nitro in the air for it too really be safe I think. The track has incredible bite on it, I had to change my bowties out for the stock cut tires I had with me and that improved the handling better, just like tex said the clay tends to clog up the tires and it sure did. It is too long of a drive to go there by myself so I will wait until I know a bunch of us are going to make it worth while. If any of you were there I did not recognize anyone but I do hope to meet up together and hit it again.

Mr. Associated, Tune, BigDangerous, and I showed up around 8:30-8:45, must have just missed you. My tmaxx ran great except I had just installed one of those cvec rear exhausts, man that thing sucks ass. Everytime I pulled a wheelie the pipe would fall off. Other than that I had a great time there.

Oh yeah, it was pretty rancid in there, they should install a couple more vent fans.
