CONTROLLED RULES!
We're going into NEW territory for OVAL racing - and the one thing I plan to do is tread slowly into some of the new ground so things with the NEW direction don't get as SCREWED UP as things were in the OLD DIRECTION!
Having many, many, many, many options doesn't make for GOOD CLEAN TIGHT RACING....and can be a TECH CREW Nightmare.
I'm only interested in GOOD RACING - Take the wonder of "IF" somebody is beating the other guy because of his equipment OUT of the equation...and the racing instantly becomes a little better. Put everyone in the SAME equipment - and racing ...TRUE PURE racing... becomes a LOT better.
Our races have become better since we made the switch, and more important...our racers have been HAPPIER! That says a lot, cause our racers sometimes are not easy to please.

Yea, that will be fun Jaybee, keep up the good work. It's good reading about you and Ritchie and everything that your learning about the BL stuff. When I do start running again it might take a wee bit of time to get up to speed. It looks like I have a bunch of new stuff to learn. See you soon.

for me, i find a gear where the motor preforms the best, and that means trying different size gears within the same ratio.
How about a 6.5 too

I take it that everyone runs the same brand cars, tires, lipos and same gearing as well. Don't help to limit brand of speedo choice and motor choice and not limit everything else. Not all cars are equal so equipment would still play a part if you don't limit everything.
If others MFG a 2s-1p cased LIPO in the Mah range we have selected...and the size fits within the general size of that battery, we'll evaluate it during the '08 season for consideration in '09. We spent MUCH of '07 testing stuff that was AVAILABLE to use in our '08 classes, and testing was completed late Sept. early Oct. and the products for '08 were locked in at that time to allow the racers enough time to make the transition before the first event in Feb. 08.
Several other clubs, tracks and groups have also adopted the same rules package or something VERY VERY close to help get racers on the same page...
LIKE it or DON'T like it... ALL of the racers who have participated have agreed - THE RACING IS BETTER - and a good number of them have stated THEY ARE ENJOYING THE RACING MORE NOW than they have over the past 15+ years of "Product Wars"

The GT default settings seem to be the best place to start. Everyone that started with low timing and punch was slow. Everyone than just threw it in and ran it was fast.
This speedo is not a GTB or Sphere. Don't assume anything as far as what settings will mimic a Novak or LRP speedo.
