longer is never a problem for me. i'm really concerned about getting enough teams to participate given the entry cost to cover the body/motor. 2008 was perfect with 10 teams. 5 teams would be about the minimum i think.

cash would be the preferred method as i will still need to divvy up the monies in the end. it's one reason why i'm not taking the HT USA fee up front, i don't want to be responsible for that portion of the costs and rather see that go straight from team to shop.
what i do need is the name of the team member responsible for painting your team body so it can be delivered.
reminder to ALL: bodies need to have all bits installed. the only clearancing permitted is that required to allow parts to function. NO holes, trimming of bumpers, fenders, etc. outside of this parameter.

Are you going to be at Gary's anytime soon? I could get it to you then. I can also mail you a check if that would work also. Let me know. MK

Hi guys, As I hope most of you know that we have a 4 hour enduro coming up on March 16th here in MD. I am trying to get a feel for any teams that where planning on coming. We are about a month away but we have not really heard any buzz about other clubs coming. If anyone was planning on coming please send me a private message. I feel that we will need to cancel the race at the hobby shop were it is being held if it looks like we don't have enough teams. Thanks guys. MK
