Default Planet Sand Date and whos going

Thanks for the updates Scott!

I hope someone will take videos of the T&T in case a fast machine doesn't last until the weekend.

It sounds like all the Gen II Raptors are taking a little longer than hoped. It's fun to watch the races once...

At this race, I hope the DS community sweeps the 4 stroke podium. The YFZs have caused a few of us to spend a lot of money, feed those lightweight bastards some sand for me.

From what I saw yesterday, there are professional cameras recording every run from multiple angles, even T&T. It should be great coverage once it is available.

I talked to the Klugs today regarding their first show at a race. After some excellent advice from some helpful people in the DS Community (I can only assume choose) they got their tires and gearing pretty well dialed so the launch and the first couple of gears were doing really well. Every run they were falling on their face in 4th gear. They are making lots of peak hp but not getting into it in 4th. So their 60 ft runs were good but their 300' runs were disappointing and I don't know why. I heard they have trailered the bike for now until they can figure out what is going on. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Too bad.

I wish I could be there to help. Worst case scenario, a great education is taking place.

Well that sucks! I was looking forward to seeing it run Saturday. Hopefully I will get a chance to meet them tho.
