They will weight in at just over 4 1/2 lbs.


If nobody shows up with a 235mm car, we might be able to ask for consideration of the weight.

It is not the 235 cars that you have to worry about. It is the advantage over the 200mm car that is the issue. If you go with less weight it makes for an even larger advantage for the 220mm car over the 200mm. It will be interesting to see how many people actually run this class. It makes for high expenses and Mike S. is the only team guy running. Paolo and I are not and the others that have already signed up only signed for the sedan class. Good luck though it should be fun to watch these cars.
