I posted the same question in the Corally Owners Forum, but I guess most of them run sedan or F1 because I haven't gotten a reply. I did get some info from the guy that runs John Bull Racing in Malta. He said his son runs one and that they are pretty strong. He only suggested that I get some front hubs.
Mark: BTW I hope everything is okay with full scale car. Its too bad you couldn't make it. You missed the seremonial off-roader falling off the driver's stand. I ran mod sedan and take wild guess at what place I qualified in and finished the main in. I'll give you a clue. Its the highest you can place without recieving any race bucks.

Resembles me a Porsche 956 (was a very old Group C) or a Mazda 787B, but I bet for the Porsche 956. Haven't seen one on much years.

Meanwhile, if you go by the website for MHOR RC in Denver, you wouldn’t even know they were hosting the 2002 ROAR OnRoad Nationals. And, they still have not answered a single E-mail that we sent them as far as I know.

It's a Yokomo Pan Car that looks to have been modified a bit.

Is basically the 'older' model that Masami run before the Japan worlds. It's YRX 10 MkII. Very good, very speedier and a lot of fun. I've improved my laps with this car.
If someone is thinking about buying a pan car, the yokomo ones is very expensive, but is worth.

It's about time! Should be good for 1/10 and 1/12 scale. Have they listed any schedule yet?
BTW sorry I haven't been down to So Cal in a while for pan car racing, but I've fallen in love with nitro recently... maybe this Sat. though.

1/10 scale ROAR weight
Mark A: Well heres a question for the king;
I was looking in the ROAR rulebook regarding minimum weight for our cars. The rules state that a car must be a minimum of 40 oz. (1.2 kilos).
As one of the lowly serfs in the pan car kingdom, I noted that one oz. (av) equals 28.35 grams.
This means that 40 oz. (av) X 28.35 equals 1134 grams. This is a difference of 66 grams from the stated 1200 grams in the rule book! Thats over a TWO oz. difference.
I then tried using troy oz. (31.104 grams = oz.). I believe that this measurement is incorrect, it's used for jewlery, but I tried it anyway.
40oz. (troy) x 31.104 = 1244 grams. This is a difference of over one oz.!
Question: It appears that the ROAR rulebook contains a paradox (no, not the motor) Have you ever noticed this or heard any discussion on this topic?
