Default Re: What Killed the 1/10th Pan Class?

I can see the attraction to the touring cars, especially given the variety of bodies available for them, but what really killed the pan car class? I've heard in some circles that it was because of the motor and battery wars, but PLEASE! If that was the case, Oval would have been dead long ago!
Your right that oval and even TC would be dead with the motor and battery wars.

We have been seem 10th and more in 1/12th pan car are making a small come back.

What we need to do is ever one with a 10th and 12th bring them out. Dust them off and get some lap on the track to show off the cars.

If ever one who still have them dose it. You see more people picking up the cars. I seen a lot of people when we race the cars say what is it. Or better yet when they out there with Mod TC and you betting them with 10th with a stock motor they seam to be very interested in the cars.

We just have to show how much fun the can be. That why you see the class grow again.
