I won't be able to be there that late. Maybe I can stop at around 5:30 for a bit and discuss.
Suggestion would be to run a limited late model class. Since that is the biggest class I believe down at Tea's maybe some of those guys would participate.
Also a pan car class. Maybe 17.5 (27t) single cell lipo or 3-cell option? Nascar or Truck bodies.

Limited late model is a blast. Slap a late model body on an off-road buggy, run a spec tire and have fun. Keep in mind this is expected to be a low cost entry level class for people new to (dirt) oval. They aren't the fastest things, don't handle the greatest, but are fun to drive and can be very competitive, they teach the basics of setting up a car for oval.

As an outsider looking in.... I have to say that I'm really pleased to see those class options. I myself have 2 or them ready to race so if I ever get a chance, I'll try to get up there and run with you guys.

awesome! there's a very strong interest in Legends. should be a blast.
Looks like some good rules... One question though, the Slash class, do you HAVE to run the Late Model body mentioned above, or can you run with your Slash truck body on? Thanks!
