If you ran last year you won't know any differance. You'll still run with people with the same ability and the same run time. we did increase the number of bumps from 2 to 4 to give you a better chance to move up a main. Hope to see you there.

sorry to hear that, but the car counts just werent there to support two classes anymore, by joining the 2 classes back together we make a bigger class instead of 2 small classes of the same cars. and like Hal said, the sportsman guys dont lose any run time, and you will still be racing the same people and may actually make the 30 minute A main with the 4 bumps. i hope you give it a shot and have a fun weekend hanging out with friends.

Les , many tracks and races in general around the country only have 1 buggy and 1 truck class period , like Hal and The Other Monty (lol) are saying it will almost literally have no effect

still same amount of buggys ,same amount of people

I was referring to this

Nitro Classes adjusted from 10+2 mains to a 8+4 mains to adjust for combination of 2 skill level classes.
