Next year I am going to run oval blocks on everything, I feel their lack of handling is out weighed by the awesome noise hey make

I've tried, I actually put them on in the hope he was racing in Truck open too, so I could prove to him just how crap they are, but he didn't show on Saturday, instead he scared the crap out of me in 4WD Open with that nuts buggy of his!
Yep, agree which is probably why they were ok on Saturday more.

I've been pushing for oval blocks for years, but none of these 'racer' types have the testicular fortitude to run with them.
(...and I've already discovered that of you're the only one running them you get left for dead so it and all or nothing sort of deal)
Lets irritate Ed and push for the hotshots to go back to oval blocks for next year. And to make it interesting, lets make it that you only get one set for the day!

Hey Ed, Mikey,
I have a purist rules question for you. As usual I have a couple of cars I want to alternate with for the class. I wanted t o know if I can swap my purist legal Scorpion 2014 Rear tyres over and run them on my AYK Buffalo of the rears that came with the Buffalo turn out to be rubbish?
Cheers
Dean

Ran them on the rear through the finals and they were sweet, only M2 bow ties too. At the 1:49 mark - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLmTWJAOFlA

Priceless!
And about 20 seconds later you hear me cursing when I manage to stuff up the double, double for the 200th time that weekend! I hope nobody thought I was cursing them, it's ALWAYS my fault, regardless who I hit.

I think hotshot is the 4wd purist equivalent. This class should be limited to 2inch tamiya tires, squares or spikes. I'm thinking of getting a hotshot for next year and giving the Top Force a year off.

A little late back to the thread - just wanted to say how much Ben and I enjoyed the weekend.
Definitely returning next year, and like many here are saying, want to be a little better prepared. Ideally having run the cars in a modern meeting prior.
Saturday 2WD was the highlight for me, and Sunday for Ben.
Can't say I really enjoyed too much after my entertaining fall... which unfortunately has resulted in a broken collarbone, with surgery planned for next Tues, I should be back on track shortly. Thanks to all who helped me pack up on Sunday, especially Dean and Clint.
Again, thanks to Mikey, Richard, Ed and the Casso team. Such a wonderful event that I plan to attend for many years to come.
Above all, I think this event is great because of the friendships developed. Many laughs had with nobody taking themselves too seriously.
Some pictures from Sunday attached.
Cheers,
Scott
