2008 IFMAR 1/8 Worlds at The Farm 2 this weekend!

[Miller Time]

This is it boys, the big daddies are in town. Practice opened today and I heard that Jared Tebo was out turning laps all day long. I caught the big event last year at The Farm and it was something else! Practicing through Friday with racing on Saturday and Sunday. The Farm 2 is located behind Metrolina Fairgrounds on Sunset Rd just off I-77, that's a few miles from CRC.

are you gonna head up there ?

[hlpressley]

I will definately have to check that out one day this weekend for sure. 

[Miller Time]

I will be there fairly often since it's about 10 minutes from home

I'll probably go tomorrow afternoon and watch practice, and again Saturday during the day, Sunday again most likely unless I'm burned out by then. It can be hit or miss when they're practicing, sometimes it's quiet for a few hours. On the weekend though it's pretty much non-stop insanity.

Also if you've never seen The Farm 2, it's worth the trip just to see a world-class track in our hometown. They are now allowing electrics to run, after many years of nitro only. I'm going to see if they want to start hosting some Slash racing, although the track might be a bit long for those.

If anybody is going up today let me know.  I am pretty free all day as of now. 

[Miller Time]

I'm going after work today, probably be up there around 4:30 or so.

[hlpressley]

What time will they get started tomorrow Miller?   I think Donnie and I are going to ride up there if they get started early enough. 

[Miller Time]

I don't know exactly, but I'm sure it will be pretty early. With two rounds of qualifying for all classes and the mains for some classes all going on tomorrow, it's a full schedule. I'd imagine the racing will be started by 10am, warmups will probably be open earlier than that. I'm going to stop by at some point, let me know when you're going.

-edit- Just saw that they are starting on Sunday by 9am, probably the same Saturday.

[hlpressley]

We'll most likely be there around 10 or so.  Give me a call when you start to head up there.
