DL, hope you are going to run the titanium link special Jrx2 I sold you all those years ago! Would be great to see.

yeah, the one I have is a mylaps. I think it's the hybrid one, I got it at the hobby shop for like 70 bucks I think.

Hello RCveteran,
Unfortunately I am not bringing the JRX-2 - I want to stick with the Classic (i.e. slow) class this year, and the Jerk would have required fitting an original body (would need different rear shock tower, etc.) to comply with current rules, and probably the bigger issue would be vintage/original tires, as these were not reproduced in recent years like RC10 tires.
- To run in the 2wd 'modified' class, I would need much better electronics (not to mention more driving skill...).
- I will certainly consider bringing the JRX-2 another time, especially if things (the race, but also the trip in general) go well this year.

I will update another thread soon with the car I am bringing.

Don't let the "forgiving" tabletops fool you.
This RC10WC got some substantial air with the steep launch angle of the jump.

That track looks pretty sick. Should be some interesting mid-air collisions over that second table top

I agree! Marshals will need to be careful too.
I find the first tabletop more difficult because (for me) it is tough to align the car so quickly after the turn.

Good practice Friday. Unfortunately I can't race anything Saturday. See you again Sunday!

How was the turnout, from what I can see online seemed smaller than prior years but hard to tell?

There were over 100 entries for the classes. 2wd buggy had a d main.

Old school and rc10talk on fb should have a good number of photos from me and scr8p and a few old school guys.
