Our next meetup is this weekend, May 7th!
Two news items!
First up, we have an official website now for our meetup/club! While it is still a bit of a work in progress, you can check it out at northernillinoisrc.com
We will still continue to use the awesome Arrma Forum for communications, trash talking, etc. The website is not intended to distract from the awesome community we already have here. The intent is to make us look more like an official club for potential conversations with the Village of Bloomingdale regarding the possibility of building a permanent track and to make flyers/advertisements that we can stick in our local hobby shops.
Second bit of news, we now have a computerized lap timing system for races! You will need to install a transponder in your car for you to be included in the results, see your lap times, etc. If you don't have a transponder, you can still race, no one will be excluded.
I've ordered a small set of transponders which will hopefully arrive this week before the meetup. If you'd like to see your lap times and be included in the computerized results, I will have 1 extra transponder available for purchase at the meetup. I'm not interested in making money here, so I'm selling it at cost for $35.95.
If you'd like to order your own transponder, you can do so here. I'd be happy to help organize a group buy if multiple people are interested. As you can see from the manufacturer's website, the more transponders you buy, the less they cost. A group buy would also help you save a few bucks on shipping.
