Hi guys, calling out Australian members in Perth, could I have a meet up with you guys on the week of March 11 to 16 ?
I will be bringing my Optima Mid.
I'm just wondering if anyone on rc10talk is a patron of The Track on Oakmont in Gaithersburg, MD. I've been going there for many many years. Mimi the owner is just one of the best people I've ever met. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get over...

It's cool that they added a vintage class, but a shame that it basically was a Re-re Worlds Class versus a true vintage class.
With winter approaching I am looking for places to run indoors. I know Livonia has Dirt Burner and there is Larry's RC in Utica (which is a little far for me), is anyone aware of anywhere else in the Metro Detroit area that is a decent place to race...

It's great to see racers in other countries organize a vintage event. I LOVE the fact that there is a true plastic-fantastic class in your event that only allows Grasshoppers, Hornets, etc which is something the VONATs here in the US does not run...

I've never raced carpet either but seems to me with how smooth and hard packed modern dirt tracks are might as well go carpet and be cleaner, looks like a great track. My first thought was big gap for vintage as well but for modern car no big deal....
