Garen,
Thanks for the rules posting, I'll try to "Americanise" this into something we can use. What do you think of the fuel nitro content? Most of us in open 4wd in this area are using 25% nitro. Should we propose something less: say 15 or 20 %? Any thoughts on this? Back "in the day" 40% was common, but we did not have the fuel/time issues then that we have now.
