Hey everyone! Just getting the starting details of the 2010 Vintage Offroad Nationals posted for now so everyone can get some more time this year to plan ahead. The race will Sept 16-19th, that's right RCHR is opening its doors a day early to let everyone get some extra track time and leave a day open in the schedule for a few ideas I'm working on too! I couldn't be happier to see the race come back for it's third year and am honored to once again have it at RCHR! The facility is the best around for vintage racing and the owners are second to none! Here's a few quick notes for you guys until I get more solid details posted

Airports: Bradley International Airport in Hartford, CT is the nearest to the track. If your airline doesn't fly into there, look into any of the greater New York City airports as well as Westchester Airport. NYC is only an hour and a half from the track and Westchester is less than an hour.

Hotels: The best hotel for the race is the Holiday Inn Express in Waterbury. I'm currently working on a discounted rate for the race attendees so stay tuned.

Getting your stuff to the race: Unlike a lot of races I try to make the VO Nats as personal of an experience as possible. While I can't speak for the track owners, I'm sure shipping your stuff to the track wouldn't be a problem, please just call and speak with them. My bigger purpose in this note is to offer myself. If you would like to ship your stuff to my house, I'll be more than happy to bring it all up to the track for you and even drop it off at the PO of UPS the following monday. A third option is bringing it with you on the plane (if you're flying). I would suggest a metal footlocker , lockable hard plastic tubs or a hard case like those used for transporting musical equipment. You can find tour cases for musical equipment at any good sized music store or on the internet. I would suggest packing everything as tightly as possible and filling any empty space with towels to provide some cushioning. I also have a case if someone would like to borrow it. Just send me a ups label and I'll send it to you.

Too bad this is being held hundreds of miles away, and too bad ThunderbirdJunkie can't run his RC10B2...sounds like a blast!

We expect videos.

tbj, guys are flying in from all over for this.

i know plenty of vids will be taken.

i acutally won't be able to make the race, but i'll be there wednesday-friday for practice and a primer race.

the b2 was introduced after 94?
i know xx's are allowed, i'll be running my mint 5link jrx2 during the practice days and primer race.

B2 was introduced in '96[:@]

Yeah, guys are flying in from all over...but a bit out of the budget to roll into something when you haven't been on the track in about a decade[&:]

would be nice to see one over here in az, would enter my Stadium Blitzer for the Stadium Truck and lunchbox, or super blackfoot for the heavy metal

Wow I'd love to do this with my Grasshopper. I would lose and lose bad, but that's not the point now is it?

Sadly I'm unemployed and have plenty of time but very little money.

Very reasonable entry fee too, I mean a black can is $25 from Tower.

for those flying, check out this video, it gives some useful tips towards the end about flying with your rc.

you are correct, it's not about winning. it's about getting together with really cool people and really cool cars.

i got my jrx2 all ready this weekend and took it out for a test run, it was awesome. so good infact i may run it for a few weeks at the regular races.
the combination of the short wheel base and modern tires makes it handle like it's on rails. it would destroy my b4 right now, mostly because my b4 isn't set up correctly at the moment.
