Theres alot of racing to be had, even with only one car but you could maybe borrow someones F1 if you wanted to compete in another class. Or buy just a Pan Car body and use it on your MR-02, it comes with everything you need to use it (wheels, mounts, clip, body). Brian might even have a loaner Pan car body.

I do have the body that you used last year.     I also have some new ones instock.

I checked the rooms and there are still some available,  they are running between 56-60 a night depending on what you get.

I talked with Andy last night,   It looks like Gus will also be making the trip to race.   Utah will should be very well represented

Sounds like fun!  Maybe I can make it next year. The new baby and liquid gold baby formula will keep me home this time around.

We are leaving for this race on Friday. We will be meeting at my house and leave just after 1pm. That should put us in Riverton, Wyoming about 7pm. We will be returning on Sunday night.

Get your gear all ready, they will have power, but it probably wouldn't hurt to bring and extension cord and maybe a power strip for your chargers, etc.

I'll pull a couple of Mclaren clips off my display bodies for you guys to use (Andy and Gus). this way you won't have to worry about a DNF because of a broken front clip.

Thank you Brian.  Do we need to bring tables and chairs for this event??

Thank you Brian.  Do we need to bring tables and chairs for this event??

no,  you won't need tables or chairs,  you might bring your folding table if you have room for it.

here is the update from our first day of racing.  We ran 3 sessions of qualifying for all the classes,   We started at about 10am yesterday and finished up about 6:30pm.   there are 20 drivers with most running in multiple classes.  they are running the following:  Super stock Mini-z, Formula 1, Kyosho Stock Mini-Z, Modified Pan and Nascar.

I was having some issues with my stock car pushing.  then right before my first race I couldn't get a signal from the car.  it seems that I had a motor wire loose, but didn't have time to really do anything about it.   I grabbed the backup MR-02 from my box and put it on the track without even a test lap.   the car was good, but not great.  I still managed to finished I think second in that first race in Stock.   the next race was even worse.  I finally got my MR-03 back working and switched back to it.   I didn't have time before that race to get really ready and then I made the biggest mistake you can make as a racer,  I didn't put in fresh batteries and the dumped about 3 minutes into the race.  I changed them quickly and got back in the race.  I caught back up to 5 place and then I threw a tire.  I pulled the car for the remainder of that race.   Currently I was sitting in the last post on the top qualifying group (7th).   I finally had time, and taped all my tires on and just hoped in the next race all would go well.

In the 3rd qualifying race. I was off. My car was handling great, but would traction roll if I pushed it to hard.  I took the lead after 2 laps and lead the rest of the way.  Car was quick and was handling great.

my formula 1 was hooking up right from the start and I lead every lap of the first 2 qualifying sessions.  I changed my tires planning for today and in the third race weren't scrubbed in and were very slippery.   I'm sure they will come in after another race and should be perfect for the Main.   

My Pan Car is also handling very well and is dialed,  I'm finishing about 5 laps ahead of 2nd. place.

So far here are the results of our group from the first day.

1st. Brian
3rd. Andy
4th. Gus
7th. Russ
14th. Cygen

I don't have the final positions with me, but here is a quick update.  I'll post up the details of Sundays events later today after I get home and can look at the results so I get the info right.

I took 1st. in Stock, Formula 1, and Pan.  

Cygen Took 2nd . in Kyosho Stock right behind Tom (I’ll confim) and was gaining on him.  Tom thought Cygen deserved the top spot so he gave Cygen the 1st place trophy.  Cygen was very excited about that.  They both finished with 48 laps and Cygen was just behind him.

From our group from Utah Russ, Andy, and Myself got through to the “A” Main in Stock.  Gus just missed Making the “A” by just a second or so.  There were 4 or 5 guys within a few seconds of each other in qualifying.   In Formula 1  and Pan Car both Russ and Myself made the “A” Main as well.

There were lots of guys there,  we had 20 different drivers with most running  2 to 3 classes each.   I’ll post up some picks and the final results later.


Just like last year. the race was very fun and really well run.  Julie did an Awesome some as keeping things moving and running the event.  We appreciated all that she did to make this event successful and fun for everyone.   I'll be going back next year for sure !
