- Our drivers stand can handle 16 racers.
- Timing software can handle any number of drivers in a race.
- Plenty of parking
- Electricity is not perfect but ok.
ok, first i will see if TRCR will host it and if they cant i will talk to you the track looks fun though

a52 would be a great place to hold it. large track. covered drivers stand. LOTS of space! 15 trucks? no problem.

1. 2wd short course, full body.

2. 13.5 or 17.5 what ever will stay coolest.

3. teams of five, 10 HOURS BABY. no qualifying just go on the tone, for the next ten hours.

4. batteries must have deans plugs. no "slam plug" battery changes

each driver drives two separate one hour sessions, switch drivers every hour, and then you pit and change batteries till your driving again, then corner marshal for a hour.
so you mean orion packs would be out? why no banana plugs?

No battery limit but, atleast make a motor limit to level the playing field. TRCR would be a sweet place to have it but Area 52 would make for a better playing field. You can't lap someone twice in 4 laps out there.

Maybe limit the motor for the 2wd drivers. Most of the 4wd SC folks are running the mod hv motors because the 540 cans are overheating.

A 540 can won the last ECT race at 4seasons, no overheating problems at all and no blown up speedos.

Leave it a no motor limit race for all, no reason for the mod 2 wheel drivers to buy a 17.5 that won't get used for anything else.

I agree with you. There seemed to be a push earlier on in the thread for a level playing field.

Bummed to hear no 4x4 class though. Oh well.
