Friday I took off work...I beleive Chris is off as well...We will try to be there before 1500 (3) to avoid the traffic. We have to set up the Tables, chairs, track, sound system and computer...The more help we can get the quicker practice can start. I know some others can't get the day off and have to fight the traffic on the #1 and wont be there till after 1900(7). Last year Security let us stay till 2300 (11) when we should have been out by 2200 (10). Saturday Morning I think we can be in at 0730 or 0800. Opening Cerimonies for the Train Show @ 1100. Hopefuly drivers meeting at 1030 to 1100.

F1 guys, let's hear from ya. Let's hear what you want. I vote in favor of Orca Sparc systems like mini. I believe this will bring this class new life and make it less expensive in the long run.

That's fine that wgt is faster and better handling but if we ill look at racing that way then nobody would run mini... they don't handle as good or go as fast as mod touring. I like this class because it's spec, it's all about the driver and set up and it has a bit of realism.

Totally true I'd run open mod but I can't handle it. Lol
John I'd like to try that it might be catchy

You should try 12th scale 10.5 boosted then. The speed is unreal!

You serious? What classes do you do that for? Is that to prevent the changing of rotors or something?

Sorry I made the thread go off topic..

What pinion are we running with the Mini's? Or is it fine at 20T? I liked the speed I was getting on sunday... definitely faster than my old slow silvercan.

Might be wring but I believe 20 tooth is fine
Tiny could confirm that
He ran against a faster silvercan and it's about the same top speed
Silvercan has a bit advantage in field
