Race Event - Saturday 9/17/11 8pm - Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti, MI - Mini-ZRacer.com Event
I'm skipping the boilerplate event copy for this one since everything is new!
New location: 215 W. Michigan Avenue, Ypsilanti, MI 48197
New time: 8pm
New format: well, actually that won't be starting this week - our GTG this month will just be sort of a beta test of the new spot - and a chance to give input on what you want from our Fall Points Series - which will start next month! Be thinking about what classes you want to run etc....
New twist on food: instead of eating during the GTG, I thought those who care to do so could just meet up beforehand to eat at one of the many fine establishments that are now within walking distance - we'll use this thread to coordinate - please post suggestions etc. (I'm thinking Sidetrack?!).
New scheduling concept: I'm thinking we should just switch to e.g. every 1st/3rd Saturday (or 2nd/4th) so that we can avoid all the polls etc.?
I'm sure there are other points that I'm forgetting, so please check back for updates. Things have just been so hectic w/ the move etc. and we're still in the process of getting caught up even now...!
Please feel free to share ideas/thoughts/feedback/whatever in this thread too in advance of the GTG!
OH, and please post to this thread if you are coming or not so we can get an idea of turnout - thanks!

Will be there. Is there available parking by the building or do we need to find a spot? Sidetrack sounds good, I haven't been there in like 2 years now!

Update: doesn't look like many people can make the pre-meet to eat so a couple of us are just going to grab sandwiches at the place next door and we'll see the rest of you at 8pm! Call or txt me if you have problems finding the new spot...!

Thanks so much to everyone who made it out to race last night - the new spot seems to be working out great, and things can only get better as we tweak/improve over time... That said, let me know any ideas/suggestions/feedback/etc.!
And to recap what we talked about for the points season (starting w/ next race): HFAY-style GT (PN 70T+ or Kyosho Stock), 8 races (oh, do we want to allow a drop or two?) which alternate between 2x 10min and 1x 20min each time - with the SAME track for the first 4 races and a second track for the last 4 (so we can minimize time spent on setup vs. racing). I think it will be fun to get so used to a track that we have names for the corners etc. ... And of course we'll make time to do other stuff, e.g. F1, drift, etc. ... and I'm guessing Mini-Z MB-010 Buggy will be a likely addition soon...!
Thanks again everyone for your help setting up/tearing down etc. Yay Dojo X!!

You needed 2.4 like a year ago ;P
See how they run on a stock profile on someones radio and maybe consider just grabbing the readyset with the KT18 if you're interested? Or just get a nice radio and start upgrading now
EDIT: holy **** check this out http://mini-zracer.com/forums/showpo...7&postcount=79
Just gotta get brian busy making some nice transitioned kickers for some hang time

Hey guys. Bummed I missed the Dojo X maiden GTG
Life has still been tight on time with kids starting back to school and work still being crazy. But I'm hoping to make it out next time.
