It was amazing to me how many people come up to check them out, very cool! One thing I will say is the 10's are very sensitive to ride height, spring and oil combo's compared to say a b4. Those can be off a bunch and still be ok to drive, but if your 10 is off more than a hair it is a big handful

Turnout was really good. Somewhere around 50 to race. Many more there to watch.

The buggy main was last and over at about midnight. :shock: It would be nice if they started racing earlier than 6 pm.

I really enjoy racing the old RC-10. People at my local track ask where it is when I don't bring it. I might be getting it ready for a big race, but I just got a B4 and was thinking about dedicating time to learning how to drive that car.

That makes for a long night I know. REO starts at 2 on Sat off-road I believe. I usually run oval on Wed or Fri night so I'm not 100% sure how late the off-road finishes on Sat. I like the Wed oval because it has the smallest turnout. Usually about 20-30 entries so we're out by 10 or so after starting at 6. Friday night starts at 7 with a lot more entries so it goes pretty late. With the 40 minute drive it's kinda nice to get out earlier. I'm glad they're doing well though. It's nice to have successful tracks in the area. I haven't been to REO in a while. I'm getting ready to start going again. I think they're racing 2wd buggy off-road again too. :D
