Well that just sucks for you. Seems local tracks should try and schedule so called big races around each other.

Im ready. this whole 3.5 thing is gonna be hard for me. When I was running my 13.5 at race 2 I could take the straight and sweeper without hitting the break until I was crossing the finish line. So what break about 75% of the straight. I'd hate to see my car if I tried to take it wide open. I may break more than a a-arm

When I ran mine for 2 laps (thanks Drew!!) I was able to take the sweeper pretty fast, I think even faster than my nitro car would. But yes you need to check up on the throttle around 75-80% down the straight or else the sweeper loses it's s and becomes the weeper!!

For some reason this year the bump at the beginning of the sweeper is not as bad. I can hold my 1/8 wide open thru it.YEEHAA!!!!

It's because your car is SLOW, Shu!! It may also be that you are more used to running off road now so the bump seems smaller!

I have a 10.5 he can borrow if need be.

Not sure on tires. We really have not run on the track much this year. I would suspect a 32 or 36 tire would work since it will be HOT that weekend.
