we always welcome new drivers.   let me know if you need any info.  and I have the items you need to get started in the shop and can bring them to the next race. :)

I suggest starting with the 6 degree radial rears  part # RRR06, and I'd go with the 15 degree Front Slicks # RSF15

sounds good, yea bring the stuff to the next race. Looks like this saturday   ;D
ill start with the tires you recommend. i dont really know what they drive like on a track. I have only driven mine around my kitchen on tile. It seems to have too much oversteer. Im sure tires will change that a lot tho. 

I think some aluminum lock nuts would be nice to have too. the little plastic ones seem like they could strip easy.

Jace, We'll be racing on 1/16(this Saturday) at Matikki BBQ(next to Hobby Habit) in Orem.  Bring you car and we are going to have a good time for sure.  Set up starts at 9AM and we'll be racing around 10AM.

Hi Jace.  Welcome to the group!  I'm new as well.  I was in your shoes a few weeks ago with a new MR-02 to get set up.  Check out my thread about it here:

MR-02MM on the way..First upgrades? (http://www.saltlakemini-z.com/forum/index.php?topic=314.0)

It has a lot of good info about upgrades and whatnot.
