We should just get rid of the gear rule since everyone is now running 21.5 and LiPo. The gear rule makes it too hard to tech and it turns the fast guys into suspected cheaters. Just make it a one motor rule. If you overgear it and burn it up, then your sol for the day.

Ok cool. I think the gear rule should go like B&B said. Everyone has the same stuff anyway.

Is what I heard true, That all the locals bought up all the rubber tires yesterday?? With the hoilday is there even a chance of Mimi being able to have tires for the guys coming from out of town??

If there are no tires, then there is no need to drive 5 1/2hrs!

Mimi had about 6 packs of Sorex 28 left at closing Sat night. She also has about 6 packs of Xenon 28. These are imported by Corally and look and perform like Much More Sweeps. I will tell Mimi to get at least 10 more packs of Sorex and have them in by Friday. If needed, we have 2 sets of Jaco Prism Greens. Traction should be up by Friday night and most tires will work very well come Saturday.

We tested with Sorex 36 on Friday (no traction) and did a 11.2 with the Tamiya.
