I have a few questions about Wolcott Hobby: Is there a Hobby shop, and do they have ESC, motors, wings, wheels, tires and so on?

[Erich Reichert]

Hey Lars! Yes they have a full hobby shop with all of that stuff although obviously it will be newer stuff. He runs a very nice place over there. Can't wait to see you guys again this year!

[Erich Reichert]

I'm proud to announce that Team Associated has stepped up to be the title sponsor of this years Vintage Offroad Nationals!

[kaiser]

nice!

[Tomas Karlsson]

Hi,

Something to look forward to!

I got some concerns on the slippery surface i´ve seen on the vids from the recent VONats. Some kind of traction is very welcome:)

[slotcarrod]

I sure would love to do this race some day and meet all you guys in person!

I sure would love to do this race some day and meet all you guys in person!

When I posted our NIX91 cars on facebook yesterday, I was asked if we were going. If only I had no obligations and a fatter wallet.

[vintage AE]

I just talked it over with the "boss" and she's down, but wants to go. We should book it off work Rod!

[Erich Reichert]

Would love to have you guys out here! Rod are you on PS4 anymore?

Tomas the traction was a little lower last year because the track was completed the day before the race started. The owner treated the dirt over the winter and traction went up substantially and he is planning on building the track at least a week before to let it set in this year.

[slotcarrod]

Would love to have you guys out here! Rod are you on PS4 anymore?

I'm still getting settled in my house, I still play GT6 every now and then. I would love to play with you guys again! What do you guys play now PS3 or 4? Ghosts or Advance Warfare?

[Erich Reichert]

Most of the people you've played and I are on PS4 playing AW, the rest of my clan (most of them) have PS3 and play Ghosts

[pumpkinfish]

Are the B2, T2 and XX4's still allowed?

[Hcp22]

Now it's decided and the airplane tickets paid for

[Erich Reichert]

Pumpkin fish yes all three of those are allowed.

Lars, can't wait to see you man!
