Adam was wondering if you were planning on attending this race. Nor-cal is my home track. It is a awesome facility and allways has a really fun layout. Hope you and the rest of the team can make it out.

I was bummed to see it on the same weekend as a JBRL series race. That really should not effect my decision but an expensive weekend racing one class or a less expensive day running 3 classes. I hope this returns to the west coast again soon. It would be fun to race against the best e buggies in the nation. They are going to have an e-8th scale class this year at the Hot Rod Hobbies shootout which should be fun as well.
