Jeremy, I asked Brad (at HTUSA) to check into what he will have to charge our club racers for the SWEEP tire in a blue compound. That is what they are running in Omaha and it would be nice to use the same ones in case we want to make the trip down sometime. He said he would let me know in time so I can announce it at he meeting Tuesday. I will also post it on here. Maybe Brad will cut us a deal if we give him an order for several sets so he can place an order???

Just a quick reminder of the meeting scheduled to tomorrow night (Tuesday night) at Cherry Creek Grille on East 26th Street - the meeting will start at 7:00 pm. I really hope we get a good representation of racers from all the classes because we will be discussing what classes we'll be running and possible rule changes. We also need to elect a new club president so that person can be involved in getting the winter racing season off to a good start for our club. There will also be some other"housekeeping" items that will be discussed. Please make plans to attend and bring a friend!

I thought the meeting last night went pretty well. I didn't count exactly but I'd estimate there were 16-18 racers that were able to attend. We talked about some housekeeping items that need to be taken care of before the first race on November13th and people seemed willing to help out where they could. We discussed classes and rules. In general a lot of the classes will remain the same as last year with minor changes. Brad S. took notes on the changes and will be posting the individual class rules soon. Two classes have been dropped due to lack of participation - mini sprints and mini late models. If there are people interested we can always bring those classes back later. One new class was added - 1/14th scale sedan (Recoil/Carisma) - it was decided to run the same rules as HTUSA does for that class so people can run their cars at both venues. There will be a spec tire in the 1/10 sedan class that can be ordered from HTUSA at a cost of $ 28.00 per set(4) - they are Sweep QTS28 - Real Green compound - same as HTUSA-Omaha is running for a spec tire. If you have Jaco blues left over from last season they will be allowed. There were some changes in the EDM class rules. The racers in that class had ironed out details before the meeting which made it nice. Basically they agreed 100% with the post that Shawn N. posted so you can read that for details. Thanks Shawn! The truck class is going to try to separate the "race trucks" into their own class - Brad will have more details on that. Of course we will always have an entry level class for beginners so, bring what you have and we'll find a class to have you race it in! This post is getting kind of long so I'll leave getting more detailed info on the classes up to Brad. Thanks to everyone that took the time to attend the meeting!
Jerry
P.S. There was a fair amount of discussion about electing a new club president - no action was taken at this time.
