My hopes are if the angles are right and everyone is okay, you can clear this with 10 or so feet. Well my stock buggy will, no telling how easy some of you will be able to. We may be able to add a small single either before or after it to make it a 6' or so double. I"m thinking a single after the table with a long slope for a landing would make a good landing off the table.

Cool deal sounds like a plan. My buggy should be able to make it then. a single with a long slope for landing would be awesome to have..
Thank you so much Randy for you input and help. This is gonna make this a great class and fun class to race in.

Also i have been talking to another hobby shop in ohio and they sent me the rules they go by to help us get started. I will bring them with me on Saturday so everyone may see them and let me know what they think of them. Also they listed a group of motors that are approved STOCK motors( if not on list, they are not allowed in stock class) and then they also have pro-mod which is any motor or setup 
See you all this weekend

I finished the tabletop tonight. Well I need to cover it, but dont have enough carpet to cover it right now. This thing is pretty big, 4' across and 4' long with two foot of space between takeoff and landing for air. Not a big jump, but a start. I cant get the front end to come down in that short of distance, my landings are always rear wheels first (keeping in mind I still suck at driving this thing too). I'll bring it and we can try it, if something needs changed I'll bring it back home an modify it.

Well I got the tabletop covered. The faster I hit it the more I realized I had too steep of an angle on the takeoff as well as the landing. I made a temp fix and it works great now. Should be good for anywhere on the track. Even with just a short takeoff you can get the nose down and land on downside or nail the throttle and land where you want.
