My wife gave me a Mini Z for Christmas, (I guess I was driving her crazy) and after reading your forum, I'm now looking for the race track online.. I'm new to Mini Z's and I will probably have many questions as to the different racing classes that you have, I guess the first question that I have is the Mini Z vehicle that I just received in the box as is, does it qualify for the Box Stock, and the Open 2WD car classes? I will contact you again when I obtain the Track, and I'm ready to compete. Concerning the Track, is it the Mini 96 Track (30 CM), from RCP Tracks?
Thanking you for your patience.

Peter,
Yes, the track is the Mini-96 track from RCP. I have done a little looking around and it seems that the best deal to be had is from eBay at $240 shipped. If any of the other folks have found a better deal let us know.
As for the classes, did you get a MR03 and if so what version (RWD, Evo)? The RWD is pretty good to go out of the box in the “Box Stock” class, just get some tires and run it. There are a few options you can add to your Box Stock car and remain class legal but do not worry about that until you can do 10 plus laps without a mistake. If your car is an Evo let us know what KV the motor is and we can tell you what class it will be in. As for an “Open” class car you can run pretty much anything. the rules are pretty clear I think but let us know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Jim
