this was addressed weeks ago 13.5 is the class Don said he wasnt changing anything 17.5 is more then welcome in 13.5 class especially since your running faster lap times This is a dead subject that Don put to rest already move on to something else . fyi mod sc was added and it flopped thats another reason thing are being left the way they are.

why not just run with 13.5 since laps are so much faster

The Hot bodies beams are glued on 4wd sct.

All the tire work well once there broken in and griped...I can assure yall from the testing ive done the m4 suburbs are the most consistent and easiest to drive..I ran them on my 2wd, stadium truck and 4x4 scte...they all were good...not sure about the other tires exactly but the m4 suburbs need at least 15 to 20 minutes of break in on the track or street.. And the trinity green dot seemed to be the best grip for them out of 4 brands I tested...hope this helps guys...see y'all tonight!

Default Friday after Thanksgivving biggest night in IRH hisory

Last year our opening day was Tuesday, November 22nd two days before Thanksgiving. Oz and I were unsure as to opening for the weekend or remaining closed for the holiday and weekend. Thank GOD we opened because as Neighbor Bill instructed us that Black Friday is always a big day and he was right, to this day we have not had a Friday club race exceed last years entries which were 95. I guess the guys can do anything they want when the lady's are out shopping uncontrollably.

So come on down and lets have some fun. I've already received confirmation from some of the Gallimods boys and some Jersey boys so tonight looks to be fun.

I have pictures from the Anniversary race but need help to download or change format. They are 2 mb each and this forum only handles 200kb.


Any info.

Default 17.5 thoughts

I haven't had time to give this serious thought again.

All I know right now is Kenny is kicking my A.... and beating everyone that normally beats him and one of the big differences is he's running a 17.5 in 13.5 class. As many of your know on the last layout I ran ,my best times ever when i returned from RCE and didn't change out my 17.5 ( because I was lazy) and I ran a 18.2 when my best time prior to that was a 19.3.

I spend too much time crashing and spinning out because of the power and my finger. Crash twice and your no longer in contention, spin out two or three times and your also out of that qual or main. Slower is faster, but I do believe the "A" main guys like Rob D. and George and Sim all run 13.5 and know how to handle the power and they are flying out there like a Mod. guy. At the moment 13.5 will remain the same and we will probably see the 17.5 newby's in the "B" main. The fast guys in the "A" main will probably be glad that I kept it that way because they run a 13.5 and can continue to be aggressive and know how and when to use that power.

I do suggest trying a 17.5. You can turn the can up to 30+ degrees and boost it if your want power. It is a boost class.
Just watch the orange TLR22 tonight, he's running a 17.5.
Don
