why dont we all just let mark tell us what the classes will be. he will let us know what morors and what tires each class will have.

and felix im sure if enough of us show up to run mod they will make a mod class. i know me and you are atleast 2 that want to run, and marcos, idk about anybody else but maybe michael bruce will and some others.

I had my Duo 3 at 4.2 with full timing on the motor endbell. I also think I ran the same at Minregg, but I may have went to a 3.8 there.

Vintage was mentioned as a class. Bring your vintage cars and make it happen. Same rules as RCGT but vintage bodies and HPI treaded tires. If there are fewer than three, we can ask the RCGT if they can run together.

I won't even attempt to try to limit classes based on ability. You can register and run whichever classes you prefer.

I'm confident all will like the awards and am looking forward to the upcoming season.

Hey, thanks Austin! Sorry it took so long to finalize. I was procrastinating...I hate having people disagree, but also realize it's inevitable. I hope the classes presented will be okay, really not too much different, but racers can run Blinky 17.5. Last season I was trying to make sure there was a place for less experienced drivers.

Being i'm not running the series I know my opinion doesn't count, but...

Are you going to have a provision that if you run open mod you can't sandbag in 17.5?

Great work on the classes Mark. Now for me to decide on running RCGT or Mod as a second class. This is going to be a tough decision. How many people plan on running mod through the whole season and how many plan on running RCGT for the whole season?

We have been running blinky 13.5 in WGT lately in Plant City. The racing is much closer and more consistent with laptimes almost the same as non-blinky. Would be nice to decide before the first race.

Ron can run whatever other classes as promoter's/option classes, including F1 or 12th.

Kool, we haven't run 12th for a couple of years, traditionally, most tracks need 3 or more to call it a class.

Adam, I'm not going to attempt to guage classes/drivers based on ability, I tried that last season and really just managed to make people angry.
