Default a race question

I was lookin at rc car actions (news column) about the 2008 worlds in charlotte, NC and it said a pre race warm up this year in october what does that mean? like you have to place in the a-main to race at the worlds in 2008 ? or can you show up and qualify and race?

cool, so yall all race at Ricks? this is awesome I was going to be going to Prime Time Hobby to start racing, but I will go back to Ricks. Rick's track is wayyyyy bigger and better. Does anyone know if he carries 8ight parts? if anyone runs 8ights there? and what set-ups do yall use? like ride height caster, camber, toe-in, toe-out, diff fluid weight, and shock fluid weight... I need all the help I can get to be fast, and I only have a .27 engine (stock) will yall still let me race?

yea, they don't really care what size engine that you have i don't think. but shoot if you're willing to drive an extra hour or so there is a really good track in clinton called medford, and i think it's bigger than ricks, but ricks is good to.

You need to try Dion's track in Rossville. He also carries Losi parts too. Ricks track is good but Dions is closer to you and you get alot more air. He has done a real good job. The track is a bit bigger then ricks too. They will start the money races this Sunday at 1:30
