The first line of the race information has what class that race is for. I noticed that T2 started listing the class in the subject line and I started putting it in bold on the very first line of a post. This is still a work in progress so bear with us and if you have any ideas on how to make this cleaner please feel free to speak up.
Cheers,
Jim

Open AWD
I finally got the GLA going alright. I have kind of a love hate relationship with this car, it can be VERY fast but it can also make you feel like you have never driven a car before. I think I have to rebuild the rear crown gear and pinion again as it can skip a tooth and the thing is VERY loud. With that said the car was pretty quick this evening and I pulled off a new track record for me of 3.61s.

What are you having a problem with?
The first line of the race information has what class that race is for. I noticed that T2 started listing the class in the subject line and I started putting it in bold on the very first line of a post.

To see what I can compare too. And how people have improved in one single class.
I get easily confused.... :-D
I do not have a suggestion on how to make it better or different yet, so no worries. I just was frustrated i thought I was looking at Stock, and I thought it was really fast, but then I found out it was SuperStock. hihi

Box Stock is of no interest to me.
Stock- Any 4AAA Nimh Chassis , OEM or 70T brushed motor or 3500kv Brushless motor, Autoscale/White body.
Pro Stock-Any 4AAA Chassis , 48/50T Brushed motor or 5500kv brushless motor, Autoscale/White body.
These are the ones I probably can do on a Mini-96. Leaning towards just Stock

Jim,
I'm getting ready to build a new car with an Evo board. If I use aftermarket screws on the chassis, were does that leave me for classes? Can I still run it in box stock if I meet the other requirements? Or would I be limited to the other classes? Not trying to start a controversy, just don't want to build it and then find out I can't run it in certain classes.

My Best Box Stop Times Yet
So tonight I decided to give the 911 GT1 another try with different front tires, otherwise the set up was the same as before, and on three consecutive runs, I improved my time each run. First run was on old K30 slicks, then on way old PN20 slicks and finally on brand new K30 low height slicks. Not sure if the tires contributed to the improvement each time, or if was was just getting better, but this will be it for Box Stock for June. I'll try to get some final runs in on other cars tomorrow!

I feel that the low profile 30 slicks have more traction at similar diameter to the old 30 slick. I think the large heat cycle to cut down the old tires removes some traction, however over long stints, the old 30 seem to maintain traction without changing quite as much.
those PN20 still work? I remember the PN18 which was one of the best front tires to be on...
