sorry iam not talking about the week of that race iam looking at this week you have oval practice 2/3/4 and racing the 5th and no offroad sunday.which shouldn't take long to take up the jumps and get the oval ready,then the week of the christmas classic the track is closed 15/16/17th why not have practice these days for the offroad it shouldn't take that long to throw down the carpet jumps. i have to say this will be the first time i have ever ran dirt with carpet jumps should be interesting. it seems like there should be more offroad practice prior to this race for us out of towners instead of one day. i know i will be in town that week until thursday for work then have to be back at the office friday morning and wasn't planning on making the trip until sat morning thats why iam ?ing the practice days.but hey you caint change for just one person.

I know many of you guys came down to motorama early this year (feb). if some of you (especially if u plan on attending next february) can voice your displeasure with not only the increase in entry fee, but the change in entry fee. they stated both on site, here in forum, and in public at race tracks like bumps that it would be 50/class straight. stiff yes, and considerin many of us electric racers didnt get promised awards....i'd be askin questions.
Well today they 'update' the registration page and now 1st class is 65 dollars (50 thereafter) with a line that sounds like it came from barrack's speech writer...
"$15.00 has been added to your subtotal to cover the costs of your first class selection"
Hmm what?
As i said in their thread, its has to be the 1st time i've seen a promoter set a price then raise it on folks (no i'm not talkin bout late entry here).
Hopefully we can get some of you folks to chime in, thx.

i thought the entry was pricy last year...really piss me off to wait in line for a half an hour to practice for 5/6 minutes or whatever it was.
and i hated the way they did qualifying.

The big oval race is from the 8-13th and will require a lot of hours at the track for Chris and away from his family, and after that he is making a completely new offroad layout for the Chrismas classic race, and open practice is Friday only as not to give anyone a big advantage.(We all know WYD will be fast anyway). So anyway after the oval race is over Chris will be getting some well deserved rest and time with his family in addition to planning the offroad layout.

78 or 81 spur with a 20 to 22 tooth pinion will get you in the ball park. Low start power, 20% punch control, normal timing but you can easily run less as it will help to smooth out the power. Most have found you don't need that much power to go fast at Bumps.
