Same situation here in CA, we're on shelter in place until at least May.

Technically I can still run some official rounds, just need to convince my 2 kids to join me (easier said than done!).

I agree, the 3500kv V3/V3.1 difference should not be an issue on HFAY size tracks as power is much less of a factor compared to larger layouts. Even when going up to a full 5500kv in open class I...

I think for us we're probably not going to be able to run the GLF-1's as a 3rd separate class due to time constraints. Usually we can just fit in the racer and open classes in only one direction...
