Some may already have heard, but for those who haven't, Dirla has been kind enough to allow Thunder RC Raceway to be the host track for the 2010 Onroad Vintage nationals!

I along with some help from Robert, Mark and David will be putting on the show. It will be a 3 day event, practice on Friday, swap meet, Concourse, and qualifiers on Saturday, and maybe another qualifier and Mains on Sunday.

This is an indoor carpet road course. Race room is heated, plenty of pit space and power available. Live video feed of the race will be available on LiveRC.

receive a T-shirt commemorating the event.

The bodies allowed will be loosely regulated. Please keep the ideal of a vintage style and look. The newer "vintage T/A" bodies will be allowed on the 1/10 scale cars. If you are looking for new vintage style bodies, contact MrLexan or McAllister Racing. They have some available in the vintage category.

190mm and 200mm touring cars will be run together depending on turnout. If there are enough of each to fill their own classes, then they will be seperated as necessary.

We hope to get many racer's from out of town on this one, so come on out and show everybody how we get it done in Nashville!!

If you need help getting into a good vintage ride, feel free to ask either me, Robert, Battman, or Scott. I'm sure one of us can get you pointed in the right direction.

I need to talk to Dirla about maybe getting a web page under the RC50 site.

I think David Nelson will be handling the graphics for web/ tshirts/ fliers.

Any of you onroad racers, what compound foams work on Thunder's track for 12th scale and 10th scale? and which rubber tc tire works

Some of the out of town racers want to know which tires to bring with them.

Thanks
Mark

It's not too late, we will be taking entries at the race, there is no preregistration required.

Specialty DJs has just come on board to play some music during Friday night practice and maybe Saturday too.

Start searching Ebay for a car to run, there's a wide variety of classes from 12th scale to gearbox.

Just over 2 months away, so start preparing now!!

ONE WEEK UNTIL THE RACE!!!! I GOT SOME DOOR PRIZES TODAY AND SOME OTHER COOL STUFF!!

Now I just need to get my car together lol

If anyone has an old offroad buggy laying around, it can be converted for gearbox class very easily... just put some street tires on it and come have some fun.

T-shirts have been ordered and will be very cool, I did a lot searching for some good vintage eye-candy for the shirt.

The trophies are going to be very cool too, not just a bowling trophy or a plate with a sticker on it!!
