It's gonna be an exciting season, althought without Bear it won't be the same. I'm sure he'd want us to carry on and keep the O.C.C. alive...
Lets see if we can get any of the trackowners to give some of the racers a little head's up on track condition, what tires to run, setups that work well, gear ratios for the tracks, etc., etc....
Six races at four tracks!

Lets see Dirty Harry:
Our tracks bite, big dips, wobbly legs and chunks of braid missing. One short peice of track missing so you have to set the car up to do a Duke's of Hazzard jump to make it from track to track should be exciting though.
Need to get you and Frank out here and decide if we run the 2 year old hillclimb or the Kingleman. The knigleman is going to get a full re wire by Brian Crosby of Ogilive, as we did a full rebraid. Trying to set the date currently for him to come in and do this

First OCC car to hit the track at REM Raceway, was J.T. (Jim Torre) driving a LMP Cheeta 11 3-piece,16D motor with a Red Foxx Ferrari.
Fast Time on orange was a 4.68
Don't know any more details of gear ratio and tires used?
