13.5 wheeler sounds cool what's the legal weight? This may give me a reason to get my xx4 out of retirement again

Also do you guys do a Sunday series in the fall or winter only I dont remember.

Wheeler has been dead because ebuggy is the new and improved version. Although, i'm sure it will come back strong in the winter. 13.5 and mod is stupid just like stadium truck at Joliet it should be mod only! Now that i have an ebuggy i'll probably never run 4 wheel ever again. Oh well, it looks good on the shelf.

Ebuggy has zero affiliation with wheeler. It's a completely different scale and animal. It's summer time bigger out door tracks attract bigger vehicles. Wheeler will be big this winter I guarantee it.
In regards to different motor sub classes, although I enjoy mod I'm all for people running what they want to run and encourage if enough show up we will run it.

13.5 will only help wheeler grow as a class it really needs it.

Ummmm...... Super fun? No. Hands down the easiest and most boring layout I've been on. R/C Raceway in Streamwood used to have better layouts than this one, and that was a 12 foot by 12 foot track. Just my opinion of course.

Fast flowing? Yes. Jumps? Where? There's two jumps on the entire track, a triple, and a double.

Again, this is all just my opinion, but the reality of it is this, 90% of everyone reading this post agrees with me, but they don't have the knads to man up and say something, so I'll be the asshole. 20ft wide lanes doesn't make for close racing. Just because half the field, if not more, can all make every single turn together door to door doesn't make it close. What makes racing close is bumper to bumper, inside outside lane passing and driving.
