Race Event - Sat. 3/20/10 7pm - Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti, MI - Mini-ZRacer.com Event
Join us for another Ann Arbor Mini-Z GTG on Saturday March 20th, 2010. Bring your Mini-Zs (2WD, AWD, and F1s), DNanos, Iwavers, XMods, Micro-Ts, and Epochs, etc.
New people are welcome as always! Everyone is friendly and helpful and we have lots of fun!
NOTE: here's the easy to remember URL to keep up to date with our events: http://www.mini-zracer.com/annarbor
Please bring $10 to cover the cost of the race night (one fee for the whole night of practice and racing - a great value!).
Reminder: You can now pay your entry fees online.
NOTE: Transponder rental is $3 for the entire night if you do not own one.
The event starts at 7pm and is in Ypsilanti, MI (just southeast of Ann Arbor). The address is:
3140 Carpenter, Ypsilanti, MI 48197
Reminder that Dojo 4 is now 3140 Carpenter - park around the back of the building and use the back door to since the storefront section is closed when we start.

Get your orders into http://Shop.TinyRC.com early and you can choose to pick it up at the GTG this Friday to save on shipping costs.
Post here to let us know what time you plan to come and what time you need to leave.

We have started our new Ann Arbor Mini-ZRacer.com season! This season will run from February to June. See the image below as an example of the Track Layout we will be running.
We are planning on having 3 Mini-Z classes: - Stock (including both 2WD and AWD) (Started in February - Note: you get 2 Drops) - Current Standings
- Formula 1 - Starting at this event
- Modified - (Starting in March or April?)
NOTE: We will be doing qualifying based on fastest lap instead of doing our standard qualifying heats.

Just a reminder that I'll be showing up tonight around 8PM since I get out of work around 7-7:30p. Sorry that I can't help with setup, but if it ends before 1:30A I can help with teardown
Also, we'll have Chris (CEO of Nexcess.NET LLC) tonight as a special guest! Lawrence will be there as well with his F1 and unfortunately my GF works until 9 and will most likely just want to stay home after she gets out.
See you all there, also LMK if anyone has a PN 70T motor that I can buy off them as I only have a neo magnet hot mod motor that I'm running right now (or new, I'll bug you about it tonight Mr. Mini-Z ).
I haven't ran my MR-02 on the RCP yet, so I will most likely need to purchase some tires, I'll bug some of you for recommendations / test drives if that's OK

Well we got done racing at 1:20am. I think we can still do better but not too bad for first time at trying our new schedule.
I've updated our Stock Race results at: http://mini-zracer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33793
I still have to load the F1 Race results.
Reminder that the next AA GTG is this upcoming Saturday.

Here's a pic of the track we ran last night. It includes a pit lane and I think we used almost all of our tiles.
