Maybe, maybe not. I mean the ace race site still says the grand prize is to be announced still. But if its the same that's cool.

I watch very few movies in the theaters, but if I am going to I will go to the 3D showing.I'll be throwing the disc a week from today, I'm pretty excited about that, I'm hoping it is very similiar to the Z storm that I carry in the bag.
Interesting that you talk about the z storm. It was one of my first disc, And it is awesome. I had a 150g and it flew more stable than a leopard to me. I could hyzer flip it, it would keep a nice long hyzer and would anhyzer just fine as well. I gave it to a new player who hit the chains for an ace on his first drive with it, that was his first day of disc golf as well... Anyway, good disc that doesn't get much love.
To stay on topic, I am looking forward for an ace race in my area. i went last year and it was a lot of fun. I kinda like the small bag they gave away last year though... Perfect for my wife and new players.

Does anyone know of any ace races within an hour of two of Champaign-Urbana, IL that a guy could still sign up for? I just moved to the area and didn't find the page for a couple ace races close to me until it was too late to sign up

Technically, you don't get to pick your weights. A lot of TDs will do their best to accomodate you though, but we just get the players packs. We would have to open them all, take out all the discs, and organize them for people to get exactly what they want. The easier path is to just show up to the check-in early and check the stickered weight on the players packs to get a set that matches closer to what you want.
Thanks, mashnut. I may just have to contact a td and see if i could get them to order me one and mail it to me if I decide that I don't want to drive 2hr+ to play in one.
Right on. Thank you sir!

Thanks man! I didn't even think to look for something like this. I was checking local club websites. Looks like there's one about an hour away from me!

Our local Ace Race TD would always try and accomidate weight requests by letting those who sign up first and/or check in the earliest pick out their weights. Seems like a reasonable way to encourage people to not wait till the last minute.
Ours is usually like that too, the TD puts out stacks by weight, first come first serve to pick two discs from the piles.

Some of the Ace Races might not be listed yet. There are TDs who who register their Ace Race less than a month in advance, and we're still three months from the end of October. So even if you don't see an event listed in your area, there may be a TD planning one who just hasn't registered it yet. Be sure to ask around your local area before you plan to drive an hour or more from home.
This is how my club has always done it. It works great, and motivates the "picky" players to show up and sign in early.
I am actually living in a little town about 20 min from Champaign-Urbana, most people don't know what it is, so I usually just tell people I live by Champaign-Urbana. To get to any course that is 18 holes, I have to drive 45 min, and that one's ace race is already all filled up cuz I found out about it too late to be able to register.

That mini looks lame, as do the sunglasses.
Mini is okay. I can't say I'm gonna use it much. We will see about the sunglasses.

Had a chance to hold the disc today. It feels great I don't have a need for it in my bag, but I can see it giving a Buzzz a run for it money.
But it's a Fairway Driver?? A bit heavier so more controlled, I thought?

It feels like a midrange. about the same rim thickness as the Impact, or Glide. Now Discraft considers those "fairway drivers," so technically it would be. Holding it, it feels like a midrange to me. (I would call the stalker a fairway driver).
