Doug, what's the address the checks made out to Doug Griffith go too? Or, can we just include a separate check along with the cost of the return Postage when we send the cars and trucks?

Doug, I watched the video. It was Great!!!
When the design competition opens, I'm voting for your tie. You're going to take 1st place.

Does that gym have Stadium seating?

Dear Mr. Eagle,
Standing behind the track as your picture shows, our vehicles right front wheels will be running down the right side of the guide strip. Our truck is at Maximum weight and very FAST. We fear if that truck flies off the track someone might be seriously injured.

Would you please check to see that the right side of the guide strip is very, very smooth. Thank you so much.

Doug, Thanks for ALL you do.

Team Klingler Wishes You the Very Best.

Right left, up down, level, 27.1 degree start section....Still need to work on stop section.

This is a race not a demolition derby. If a car/truck leaves the track it will not be do to lack of time and or effort spent in track prep.

Thanks for racing! Looking forward to seeing your entry.

Eagle, what do we need to do to watch the race at home?

Is there a scheduled time for the different categories?

Speedster,
How would one do that when one doesn't know how many cars are going to be in each division/class?

Proxy car arrival. What about those that show up morning of?

And, even then how long does it take to run X number of cars? What about finals in larger classes...

Even NASCAR with all their years of experience has to run their races a day later sometimes.

I've asked Greg Dawes at Mid America a lot of questions, but I have never asked what time a specific class will run. I wonder what he would say.

Maybe Randy has some insight as to X number of cars = X number of minutes to conduct a race.
