hi guys, i run mostly at the coliseum in frederick (host of the 2009 paved nats), but i had planned on coming up and running at Jackson to get my car setup for the 2011 nats, how big of interest do you guys have on a club basis in running mod touring?

I suspect that motor will put you at an disadvantage if it cannot add 40+ degrees of mechanical timing.
last year's weekly classes were 13.5T boosted and 17.5T boosted. i suspect that will change to be more closely aligned to whatever we end up doing for the ROAR nats. The weekly 13.5T class should evolved into Mod Touring car, and the 17.5T boosted class will probably stay as 'Super Stock' or Expert -- it was our stock class most of the summer.

Hey mike - actually that motor he's talking about has adjustable timing - I read that is the SP thread about it. The speedo is the one with the fixed timing/no adjustments/ROAR spec speedo 
Plus for the price of that combo, it really cannot be beat the speedo and motor for the price of a 'other brand' motor is a good deal to get new people involved. Then add $10 for the little box to actually adjust the few settings that the speedo has (since it has very limited onboard settings, like lipo shutoff) and a new guy wanting to run spec 17.5 is ahead of the game. Plus if some wants to do the roar race, they got a legal motor for that class as well - or usvta, like I did
That being said, not sure how well it would hang compared to a duo3 or boss v3 motor

id probably recommend you start with the Speedpassion Citrix setup.. and see where things go from there. people are always selling other motors... i know i got a bunch in my box that i didn't need from Snowbirds that i'm probably going to need to get rid of for a deal....

its a little 'box' that you attach the speedo so that you can make changes to the lipo cut-off, drag brakes, and a few other minor settings..

i have one for my cirtix and it's simple to use and was very inexpensive - if you're looking for an all-in-one kind of thing (programming settings-wise), the novak might be the way to go

Officially, you guys are welcome to race anything you want as long as 5 or more cars show up to race the class; IE: 1/12, WGT, F1, Mini Poopers, etc. Traditionally, however, Mike's on point about the touring classes being the most popular by far, and they are usually the two slower classes being run at ROAR/Snowbirds/Vegas. Since we're hosting the ROAR Nats this year, Modified TC will surely be run on a weekly basis by those interested in placing well. Perhaps less obviously, Modified 1/12 will have to be run at the Nats as well because it's a qualifying event for the IFMAR Worlds. Anyone ever remember seeing one of those on track since the new asphalt or the curbs?
