I just received confirmation on the 2014 iHobby Show date, and it being in Illinois, so I'll go ahead and schedule Sano 8 to coincide with it.

 

Maybe we'll be able to get Steve Koepp, from Parma, to race on the flat track in the evenings next year.

 

Exact same schedule as this year.

 

We'll extend morning practice a few minutes in the morning and tech the PD classes while FK qualifies, if the number of entries warrants it.

 

We'll also not break for lunch if necessary.

 

Sano 8 warm-up race will be Saturday, Sept. 13.

I am really sorry that I couldn't attend this time. I put it on my calendar for next year already.

Move it to November and Rick and I will attend and I'll drive. That's reason enough to leave it alone.

Exact same schedule as this year.


Does this mean we will not be running the new Can-Am Plus class this year? And if we are running it, will it be hand-out motors?

I don't plan to run it, unless there is some interest on running it Thursday night.

I would like to run it as well even if I only use an existing car. Just change motors and hang the body. Let's do it!

I'm game for a Thursday night King race with the new class! Maybe a "just place and race" format.

Is this still in effect?:

 

"As in the GTC-FK class, the winner of F1-FK and Can-Am FK will have the option to join the PD race that follows, N/C, using whatever type motor they choose except for the new Retro Hawk, but using only their winning chassis and body."
