tomdav · 08-04-2008, 08:20 AM

Are we going to tech lipo voltage for the stock classes this year?

Anything over 8.44 and your done.

Sorry to hijack the slash thread.

boogerdan · 08-04-2008, 10:36 AM

The slash will be the class to run. I have had a ton of fun running it at Canby last month, hitting pit lane was wild.

I hope the Walla Walla network will let us get after it again.

This class will be more about having fun and getting close, not so much as to who is in first, and the people who cry, "don't you dare touch me, I'm in first place. Wha Wha.

If you don't want to get touched run in the back, or maybe not, you may get touched by the guys up front as they go by.

Or, if your out front you might have to work on getting past the guys in the back.

Hey, how about team racing?? Let the blocking begin.

This should be called the real "RACIN IS RUBBIN SLASH CLASS". All others stay in the pits.

Poweredbysbc · 08-04-2008, 06:53 PM

the thought has crossed my mind... and quickly faded away!

I am not making huge changes. The ECT is NOT BROKE so why fix it...

Spec tires are the topic as of right now to be added to the Super Stock Class

tomdav · 08-04-2008, 07:12 PM
