Kalamazoo has been one of our best tracks to race at, we expect a very exciting race.

NRT servers now offer anti-cheat at no additional cost so we are running that on the server, with that we have decided to run our first OPEN SETUP event.

We will provide the fixed setup we run with every season in our Outlaw series which is a great race setup, people can use it as is, or use it as a base from which to fine tune to their liking.

Check out the Bear Bait Racing home page for a video I made for this event, it is full of clips of all the races we have run there so far.

looking forward to this race... i see it looks likewe should have a good size field

[travis wright]

according to # of signups it looks like we are having a b- main....!!!! Its not to late to throw your name in the hat and try to qualify your way into the KLASH and take home the trophy!

[Brian Peters]

hmmmm...

LOL Don...  You looked pretty good out there in that practice race 

Being our first open setup event, it's the most excited I have been about a race in a long time, after many many hours working on a setup, I think I have one that I feel good about, and with the updated version of this track, Kalamazoo Night has to be in my top 3 favorite tracks.

Tonight's the night, you still have time to sign up and run the klash with us, between 4 and 5pmI EST I will check for any process any last minute entries, after that registration is closed.

Damn, forgot about it

It was good, the last 60 some odd laps went green to the checkers, we had 4 cars pretty evenly matched up front, lots of lead changes.

For our first open setup event I personally am very pleased that it was as clean and competitive as it was, I did not know if it being open setups would have the field spread out just clicking off laps.

In the end, Brad Cornthwaite, a visiting driver from The Bullring, used his smooth driving to hold off Travis Wright and Justin Collison over the long green run to the checkers.

BBR tips it's hat to the two visiting drivers Brad and Justin for being class acts on and off the track
