**ATTENTION** **ATTENTION**
We are now just under two weeks till raceday. I hope tuning is going good for everybody because time is running out. I want to remind all entries to please get your cars in the mail early if possible. Do not rely on 2 Day or Next Day delivery. I've seen too many packages delayed. Priority seems to be the most consistent and added insurance seems to get more attention from the USPS. I've been doing this for awhile so I'm just sharing what I know. Qualifying for all Classes will start Thursday morning March 24. Remember to include your return shipping/entry $$ or Paypal to genjj1963@att.net and also any special instructions you would like for car treatment (oil, tires, warm up, etc). Lots of race coverage and commentary coming your way. My complete focus will be on the race from start to finish. I will slow motion video all Finals, List races for #1 and all 4GU passes. Those will more than likely get posted after all racing is complete so I will have time to sit and edit them. We will see how it goes. If I can get some practice in maybe I will be able to post them during the race. Anyway...... Good luck to everybody!Now with that being said, I have a few random items for giveaway. Just something to kill a little time. You will be guessing the ET of three cars over the next week or so. I will provide a picture, build info, and voltage of each car prior. The prizes for the best guesses will be a couple of Dash Quadralam armatures and a Tyco Thunderbird body.
First prize up for grabs will be one of the Dash Quadralam armatures. First car that will run is not a car at all. It is an Eagle Racing Pro Stock bike. The chassis is a stock Wizzard Patriot with the exception of a Wizzard Hot Stock 6ohm armature and braids. The chassis has been modified to fit the bike and uses body pins to hold it on. Voltage will be 20v. Feel free to ask any questions. I will post the times Monday evening.

I haven't said very much about the Outlaw List racing coming into this event so let's go there now. I see new members logging in and we have a few new racers signed up that may not know what it is all about. We have two top 10 Outlaw Lists.....one is 3 gear the other is 4 gear. Both are NTRA Comp rule builds with a particular body requirement. We have had the Lists for 5+ years now. Anyone is welcome to try to get on either one. All you have to do is build a car (only one per racer per List), send it in to one of the events that is running the Outlaws, and you will be put in the Shark Pool. Cars in the Shark Pool will race each other and the winner will be able to call out the #10 car. If you win that race you will be on the List at the #10 spot and can move up (or down) from there. There are typically two rounds per event and one call out per round. The bottom line is "a racer has to win to move up". There are no do overs. So that is List racing in a nutshell. There is a lot more that goes on but that can be explained as we go. Dave632 currently sits at #1 on both Lists and is the one with the target on his back. Congratulations on that achievement and holding it for several races. Maybe someone can change that this time.....we will see. JJWallace is just behind Dave at #2 on both and it's mixed from there. I am thinking about running an "Outlaw Only Race" a little later in the year. So stay up on the tuning. A fast car will have an opportunity to make some moves. I will be running 3 or 4 rounds. But........for this race we will be running the normal 2 rounds.
Race is 12 days away......

Jeff, You mentioned in the above post about having a Outlaws only race? Why not run it as a "Hat Race"?

Did no tuning on the "Old reliable" 55 Chevy or "Grumpys headache" Camaro. That should make them vulnerable. Mailman never showed up today so package will go out Monday.
