Winter is coming...
We have squeezed in two more dates on the Rock County Raceway before temperatures in the basement go sub-zero. The dates are Wednesday 12 October and Wednesday 16 November. Let us know if you're interested in joining us. We've been talking about creating two T-jet classes at BURN and plan to use one of the autumn races to debut some more realistic 'skinny-tired' T-jets using the excellent Vincent Wheels. The other class will remain using the wider 'Tuff Ones' rear wheels & tires. More details to follow for any rules changes for 2017. |
