Thanks, for some reason I thought it was .050" front and back. I plan on being at the warmup race and R4.
Just got back from Austin earlier this week, what a great place to see F1.

Question... while racing is it legal to hit the guy on either side of you to distract them? Thanks, JJ.

JJ,
Just eat some cabbage and beans the night before the race...
Much easier then losing your concentration hitting the guys next to you while you race!

I need to bring a hammer, mine don't stink.

I don't always go the extra mile, but when I do it's because I missed my exit.
All my life I've strived to keep from becoming a millionaire, so far I've succeeded.
There are three kinds of people in the world, those that are good at math and those that aren't.
No matter how big of a hammer you use, you can't pound common sense into stupid people, believe me, I've tried.

I need to bring a hammer, mine don't stink.
The "hammer deal" Ray brought up, is a reference to when some knucklehead pipes up "there's no rule against it" in the IRRA™ rule book, when it's obvious, it goes without saying.
My standard reply is "There's nothing in our rule book that's says you can't hit the guy next to you with a hammer, but believe me, you can't do it". LOL.

Just the OPPOSITE of NASCAR - if it isn't explicitly stated as legal, it isn't (at our discretion).
Sorry about the nerf. "Sorry? Sorry? There's no apologizing in slot car racing!"
Besides, where would I even begin? I should probably start with my wife ...
