If any of you can make it to a Toledo 1/8th Racers race, I'll loan you a pan car so you can get a fell for the fun they are.

The idea of this being a beginners class is wrong as many racers will enjoy the lower work load while still having a blast. Other will learn allot for less and then move up to 4wd.

The pan car and 4wd share a common lay out, touch in the wrong place, you get burned, us same starter box, fuel the same, same wheels and rear tirers. They compare much more closely then any other can. Thus the pan is the ideal training class for 4wd. Anything else is more like a distraction from 4wd.
More clubs need someone like Das 1/8th Mopar, I cant thank him enough for helping me get off to a awesome summer. Because of his support in the pan car class, I am able to have fun and actually learn how to drive. More clubs should follow his blueprint to attracting new members. Thank you Sir.
