No! Shon is not allowed in the clique. Pro Mini Truggy is being developed as a class full of fun. No taking it serious and racing is one of the first rules against "Pro Mini Truggy" class.

Shon if you want in you will have to prove by taking Chris out on the straight over you finishing up well in a main.
O-ima take Chris out in every turn possible You can bet on that!

Is anyone game for running track backwards on WED? Be fun to have a change, but if folks dont want to, I am fine with that.

I'm down for a buggy race. Maybe do that format where you run say 3 mains vs. qualifiers? I always need more main practice.

I ran it backwards in practice with a few guys and the issue was everyone would slam the top of the double which is just going to kill the lip going the other way. Try it and if you think it wont tear of the track for friday night then we can. I wont be there until 7:30 wednesday right before the race.

Then for those of us that do both and now it's off-road, OneLug and back here for on-road. I will just say I wish some more thought was put in from the promotions team at HS .
agree 100%

Scott can call it a excuse if he wants. You want to schedule a event especially one that may be the last of its kind so that you get maximum attendance. One lug has had the Date for the Carpet Showdown posted since December and even before the posted them they wanted to know when we're scheduling the Top Gun And The GORC.

I understand that we are getting ready to tear down the on road track. But if we are going to have one last race can we at least for the first time ever......... plan a proper event. Hell, if you want me to ill do all the planning and promotions myself. All I need you to do is push the date to the same month we did last year's Top Gun which was in April.

now if you had planed to start the tear down of the on road track before April then I say we should just cancel the on road race and do real planing for large off road race.

That is one of the rules for "Pro Mini Truggy" Main is run backwards. However no practice is allowed.

I am voting against for Wed night as I am setting up the RB6 MM and will already have my hands full.

Will you act as tho it's set in stone. I have not seen any response from Brad with a commitment that he is going all off-road. So until then stop morning the death of something that has not died.

You have my vote for HS Promotions position.

+1 on both. Can't believe I am agreeing with Danny, I must have hit my head or something.

I think onroad needs a Short Course Truck of it's own. Something to get people exposed to racing.

I think scale NASCAR would be cool. Setup an oval track with a road course infield.

VTA/LeMans style starts, pointing the wrong direction.

I think we need to mandate everyone run AE ballcups just to even the playing field.

I am a little surprised that something like this hasn't come a long. The Slash came out in what, 2007-8 and there has not been an onroad equivalent yet.

NASCAR can road course or at least they try twice a year. So you don't have to have an oval.

That's true, was thinking the Oval might bring in more NASCAR fans. Would be sick to have a nice sized scale track along side each full sized track in each town.

Something between this:
