Jason, ThatŽs great. Perhaps you can round up some other racers from the area who would like to help out.

I have had two other members on this site contact me about helping out. Again, I can make this date and it isn't an inconvenience to head down to Nashville as it is an easy drive. . .just let me know when it is official.

This is a little too far for me, but I'm ready if there are any events in the Chicago area.

wonder if my wife would let me use some of the extra $15K in my job payout (over what I thought I was gonna get) and come over to play ??

would love to, but doubt there'd be much left when I got home if I did

I've been in contact with jmoncor and Zach and I will likely be able to assist since we are local here to Nashville.

abs - come on over! We can surely come up with ways to help you squander that $15k!

Chuck and Dave and Bryan,

I am rarin' to go up here in the mitten state. Any time you want to wrap an event/demo around an M.I.S weekend let me know. I have contacted several racers in this are and I am certain they would love to have a go. Sad news of late though, we lost our latest hobby shop to a horrible fire about a week ago. Nankin Hobby completely demo'd. Very sad.

FYI - the 2010 Detroit Grand Prix is rescheduled for 2011, lots time to plan a big presence for this event. More than 150,000 fans were in attendance for the 2008 bringing a $53M USD economic boost to the city and its suburbs. What a great venue to showcase SCX. Combo punch with the 2011 Detroit International Auto Show and the Woodward Dream Cruise and now your're talkin'. The Woodward Dream Cruise has the largest event attendance in the nation now. Talk about Cudas...

Let us know and we will (re) ignite the fire up here!

I can help in Ohio, but I'm sure Bryan has this part of the country covered.

Nankin at Farmington and 9 mile? burned?!?!?!?! or was it the other one?!
I guess that saves me the gas from driving down there to check the place out again...

I guess I need to stop sending people there to buy SCX Digital stuff then... I have their address on my flyer... along with other hobby shops.

I am setup at Great Lakes Crossing Mall in Auburn Hills, at least until the weekend after Easter, then I might pull out as the place dies down...

I too am ready to do demos in MI... I guess I will not be doing a demo at Nankin... I was going to bring my track there.
Heck I might even stop by the demo in Tenessee... since i need to drive down to see parents in a few months (they are in Florida, and Tennesee is usually the half-way rest point for my driving)


I am also trying to get people to do monthly races in MI... (See my web page, when I get that info up).

All ready for FanFest in Nashville, will be heading down on Thursday morning. Just have to finish packing the track. I will take some pictures of the crew that will be assisting the demo and post them when I get back.

Keep you posted, and I will try to get any of the Nationwide Series drivers to stop by and play if possible.

We had a great time. Thanks to jmoncor for providing all the track (four lanes wide!) and lots of cars. Everything came off without a hitch.

Afterward, we hit the local go-kart track for a spin and then headed over to Rafeman's place for some more scxd racing until after midnight. Very awesome indeed!

Jason and Team:

Thanks for putting on such a great looking event. IŽll bet a track like that allows 6 racers to really battle each other.
