Am I right in thinking the track has changed owners since last year? Maybe it's the new guys after some more cash by selling rights?

Went looking for it while waiting for an NBA game in Phoenix when I visited in Nov, got totally lost though!

Still, seemed to be loads of strip clubs near where it's meant to be!!!

another pic of Jorn with a Yokomo?

Thats exactly what it is Dave. I read a comment, saying the new owner thinks he is holding the indy 500. :thumbsup:

I'm not actually at the Cactus, unfortunately, but trying to watch from afar as the rest of you are. There has been a ton of drama involving LiveRC and whether they were (or were going to be allowed to) cover the Cactus Classic; all I really know is that there were some disagreements going into the event, they thought they'd patched them up but I guess not, and things escalated into some kind of shouting match. I don't really know who's claiming what, who's right and wrong, etc; all I do know is that there is no live coverage coming :thumbdown: so I've demanded lots of phone updates and pics from the X Factory guys at the race :thumbsup:. It was mostly for my own benefit - started as wanting to see some decent pics of the track and grew from there - and then I thought, "Wait, it won't take but a minute to post these things up...." So here's hoping there's more pics and info coming tonight (US time, of course).

Yes, Jörn has just recently switched to Yokomo.

Jorn is ace - but......I worry who will now translate for Gerd at race meetings? :p

UPDATE! Got some practice lap times up, more pics, and of course details on the carnage caused by the massive windstorm :woot::woot:

Lee 13-03-2009 09:09 AM

Its good to see the pidge, bradders and Neil up there.

That wind storm looks cool too, is it me or does the HB eezy up look just like the JConcepts one :lol:

That's what you get when all the english guys fill up almost the entire A final :-)

No really he's pretty cool, but I never raced him in a euro's a-final of course :-)

Wish we had tracks like that cactus thing here in Belgium!!
