Leisure Hours I'm assuming? Yes fun truck, good people. I just wish they ran on saturdays. Heard they had 79 buggies sunday.

That's a lot of freaking buggies!

Never been there. I read a lot about it at the chicago rc forum though.

Where are you located aceracer?

 

[aceracer21]

Yeah 79 buggies, 133 cars total, We had all the way to H mains too. Couldnt beleive it for a damn club race. I'm located in evansdale IA. We have a track there. We run indoors every Saturday. Its Extreme R/C real fun track. And the people there are just awesome.

I've seen the name around. I like the "pit" they put in. What did you run?

 

[aceracer21]

I like the "pit" they put in.

I dont see what ya mean.
I ran my Xray and I did'nt really run. I ran about 2 tanks of practice and had engine trouble. But oh well, thinking about going up in about two weeks.

 

[jetmechG550]

The spot where they dug in below grade, kind of like a pit.

 

[aceracer21]

Oh yeah, thats pretty cool then it turns into a big tabletop. That was one of my favorite spot. nother spot I liked was the end of the backstretch, you could fly down that and wip it sideways all the way threw the corner.

Are you going to run the RC Pro Series this year? IL is having a state series, and we are trying to get one organized for IN as well. I think LH is the second or third race for the state series.

 

[aceracer21]

I might run a couple. Were having a RC pro series race here August 4-5 for the North division. That will be held on our out door track. Is anyone planning on coming up for it?

 

[jetmechG550]

If I go anywhere it will probably be for the IL race in Edwardsville but not sure, the Truck Nats is two weeks after that so I'll have to watch my travel schedule.

 

[aceracer21]

I haven't quite decided where I'm gonna run this year. I'm not planning on traveling to far.

 

[jetmechG550]

Lemme know if you are heading out anywhere. If the ride is reasonable and I'm home, we usually head out.

 

[aceracer21]

Yeah ill definetly let you know.
