Wagonhill, how long have you been racing CR? I remember that place..it was near the Butler fairgrounds...was a long time before I ever raced though. Used to get parts there but was into bashing then.

We also used 1200SCR's in stock class at wagonhill with no hotlaps and bumpboxes to keep the voltage up for the start of the race...

The delicate 1700SCE's...long run times but would 'puff'often with bad cells
