Final FDR is 4.0. Nothing lower. It should be an awesome time..especially now that ALL CARS will have equal motor/esc!

Team Trackstar
Team Evolution Sports
Team Tamiya
Team BMW

Team Associated
Team Nitronic

Awaiting Confirmation:
Team HB/HPI

Charlie,

I want to make it clear on the FDR.

4.00 Not 3.9999999 correct?

In figuring for our Tamiya being that 39/18 is 2.1666666~ we can use that? or just 2.16?

I want to be clear and fair for everyone that is why I am posting this.

I would figure as long as you rounded to the tenth spot on the decimal that should be good enough, but that's a good question. 3.999999 should be allowed IMO.

As for IGR's of cars, 2.1666666 is equivalent to a 2.16 just like 1.95555555 is a 1.95.

Hope this clarifies things!

I cant wait to see how much more prepaired the teams are this weekend!

Hmmmm...Team Trackstar is getting some heavy hitters for this race. It's gonna be interesting!

WHo's gonna step up to the plate. Looks like Team Exotek is not gonna make it out. It can be ANYONE'S race now!

Unfortunately our "Ringer" (Greg Hodapp) had to back out with work obligations.

So as it stands right now we have Chris, Jeff and I.
