The speedo you can buy anywhere (or rent one for the weekend very cheaply) as long as its the correct part number.

My question is this. With so many people complaining about speedos and such here why have we not adapted to a variation of this speedo rule here? All cars were very close in speed, no one complained about freaking software all week (Damn it was nice not having to listen to that crap all week) and the racing was very very close. Not to mention there were 96 entries in the Stock Class!

I for one am a Fan.....Sorry speedo companies but the US needs to get with the program and get some stuff set in stone.

No arguing, no flamming, no idiot comments. Just honest fair opinions on the subject.

If it turns in to a bi''ch fest or argument I'll have your comments deleted and thread closed by Marcos. If you cant contribute constructive opinions then read and leave please.

I really like the idea....just asking how much was it to buy the motor for the event and how much to rent it? Same thing for ESC how much was it to Rent and to Own?

Also how much was your entry fee into this race just looking at it compaired to other races here in the US?

Novak did this when they first came out with Brushless systems you could rent them at the Novak AKA US Touring Car Champs.
