Theres a part of me that would really like to see them try that!
Here's the situation....if half of us want to run LiPo and half run NiMh there would be a difference in voltage from 7.4(LiPo) to 6.4(NiMh) 1 volt doesn't sound like much but would result in faster laps and more speed.......and in pan-car oval thats a huge difference where the smallest things mean so much. I will remind everyone at this point..............this is purely a thought as of right now, and nothing will be set in stone until it has been tested and agreed on! Harding is definately interested and I'll come right out and say I agree with Ed, that there is a part of me also that would like to see it as well!




Enough of that for now, Stober will you be making the trip this weekend? Need some tires!
