Why are we limiting the Foam Sedan classes to 2 bodies? I understand that most guys will run these bodies anyway, but what is it necassary to go by this rule? Just looking for some clarification. Thanks.

I have a foam body that is not in that group of 2 left over from last year, now I can't use it for anything.

Is this for all Sedan Classes? Just read the Roar thing about it and it seems evey body we run is on the non approved list.

somewhere i read, can't remember where, and i probably got some facts wrong but what the hey,,

the body guys got together with roar, came up with some rules, and set a date to submit for approval, then missed the date. at carpet nats and paved nats they had to way the body rules and allow non approved bodies to run.

think i have the right.

Default Speedmind tires

In the 13.5 rubber class I would like to suggest using a harder tire. Sorex 32's.

At Vegas this year the speck tire was the Jaco 32. The tire's worked great and I only used one set for the whole WEEK! At the National's i used 8 set's of the Sorex 28. Do the math. Let's save some money.

Great run at the IIC Erlich!!!

I second that on the 32s....it will save money and when the grip comes way up, guys wont be traction rolling so much like last year...

The good thing about running 28s is the tracks make more money...hmmm

Sorex 32's don't work all that well on carpet. They take too long to get up to tempature. From what I have tried in the past. Makes the car slide really bad for the first minute of minute and a half.

Yeah, I agree. but with 28 and a decent setup, you don't need warmers.

Since the series hasn't started yet and plenty of time to discuss this out, would there be anything wrong with allowing both of the premount 28's and 32's to be legal for use? The racers would have an option as to which compound between the two to use but all the other rules could still apply regarding the tires. Just a thought.
