We need to talk. As you know, we are having our 2019/2020 indoor season at Oak Ridge Presbyterian Church`s Center as usual. What you may not know, and need to know, is that they have done extensive renovations to their back room. We will be unable to use the back room for pit space. This leaves us with no other choice but limit the amount of space taken for pits. So, this year, we are consolidating. For each double table in the front room an individual will be allocated 1/2 of the table face, meaning that it`s mandatory that 4 people are per table. You may not have an entire side to yourself. Additionally, we will be squeezing as many tables onto the stage this year. Even more tables will be distributed to the turn 3 corner. In years past, the turn 3 corner wasn`t regulated as a confined space. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.
We also may have to use the downstairs hallways in extreme situations. If we do have to pit downstairs, and this will be made known as you enter, you must be extra vigilant about cleaning up. No pitting downstairs unless you are told to.
We need to respect the venue even more than we have in the past.
Thanks y`all. Let`s have a fantastic teal season!

2 days until the challenge. Pre-register. It closes Friday night.
Last minute addition to the Dirtrunners Challenge! Interest has grown to warrant the addition of 13.5t Mudboss. Think about this as an exhibition class.
The 2019 Salvas rules apply, with the only exception is that we allow the rally tires that are in the Dirtrunners rules. Hoosiers are preferred. So as a quick summary:
Tires - Hoosiers or Traxxas Rally
Gearing - open (used to be 28/76 for Dirtrunners)
I`m probably butchering the point I`m trying to make, so ask questions! ~Anthony

Hey there family! I`ve got a facilities maintenance day planned for Saturday August 31st. We`ll be starting at 7am to get the work done early, so we can spend the rest of the day with our families.
The agenda is fixing the dasher boards on the outside of the oval, repairing the railing surrounding the track and replacing border pipes on the off-road. I (Anthony) want to get the place ready for the Challenge.
I need solid confirmation by Thursday morning so I can get the necessary wood and other supplies. We`re plunking down $200 to get this done. If I don`t have the help needed, I`m scrapping the plans. This is y`all`s chance to help. I`m not doing it alone.
Drop a reply letting me know you`re coming.

The oval is ready for Sunday. Let`s hope Saturday is kind to it.
Help! As some of you that may know, and for those that don`t - the off-road was worked heavily upon last weekend at the work day. The workers (whom we all should appreciate greatly) weren`t able to get to the oval as much as they`d like.
Help is needed before the race to get the oval in decent condition. If there`s anyone that can do anything before racing Sunday....
