Default What about the rule

I think it was a rule, the one about the reigning champion's car has to be 1 pound heavier then everyone else.

How about this one, if you have to cross a national border to race, your car doesn't have to weigh anything as long as it has no clutch. (CAN USE WHAT EVER % NITRO YOU WANT)

LETS GET TO RACING!!


LETS START THE FUN!

Default Calling any Northeast pan car owners

With the closing of the Port Jervis, N.Y. track there is currently no place to race any type of on road nitro cars in the Northeast. However the Floyd Bennett Field track in N.Y.C. is still available to practice on. Are there any pan car owners out there ( I know there's a few) that are planning on practicing any time soon. I'd like to run with at least one other car that's similar to my WRC.

It seems very odd that a town has a piece of property it's doing nothing with and someone will help you turn it into a profitable area (the town got a cut from the race fees that were collected for each event), then doesn't want to keep this venture going. There had to be many underlying and behind the seen things going on that I'm sure will never come to light.

our local off road track is at park/zoo sort of a place, they get it rent free since the owner considers it another attraction. this would seem similar too his deal. when matt wins the lottery i'm certain we'll have a huge track!!!
