    Great - have her come along! You come along and do some racing too, you know how those women get around race car drivers ;-)

    ... just ask my wife of 25 years! :D

    Wife and I had a blast racing last year. Helps we both did pretty good in the race and show part!! Much better then we thought we'd do as our first attempt at it.
    For the beginners be prepared to add quite a bit of weight and do so before you paint the car etc. I used a combo of fishing weights and golf club making weights.. Had to add probably 3 or more ounces which doesn't sound like much but only so much room under the car to drill either big enough holes or enough total holes to add the weight..

    OK, everyone who ordered a car should have one by now - PLEASE let me know if you for some reason haven't received one and I'll respond!

    UPDATES:
    - We now have a THREE-lane track, with digital timing and scoring, and WILL have runoffs this year! Thanks to Colin for sourcing the track and timing equipment.
    - I do have a calibrated digital scale for the weigh-in and we WILL cut the weight off at the rules-communicated 5 ounce limit. I'll bring a drill and file in case anyone has to remove weight.
    - I will bring graphite axle lube if anyone wants to top off prior to racing...
    - We ARE bringing Bubbas Homebaked Nut Rolls! Not only that, we will ALSO have the Bubba's Homebaked Nut Roll FOUNDER with us, along with his fine selection of coffees and teas, and some sort of high-tech low-tech, portable coffeemaker that makes a FANTASTIC smooth tasty hot cup o'Joe...

    I CAN'T WAIT!

    Thanks to EVERYONE who made this event so much fun to put on. Aside from a few minor hiccups (and some ground clearance issues) all seemed to go reasonably well... if anyone has vids or photos please post up! Any feedback please share! Any suggestions, please PM me... it's a bunch of work to put this on and we really want things to go well!
