LM-1, F1 and USGT could easily run together. The combined classes would look cool too.

Maybe do one race near the end of the year.
Some of the guys up in Wisconsin run a format like this.
5 min qualifying (best lap determines grid spot)
3 10 min races.
Each race is a separate race. Grid for the race 2 and 3 can be determined however (invert top 4 in each class, etc)
Points given for each race. If you decide to go that way.
Makes it more like Pirelli World Challenge race weekend where each race means something.
Just a thought.

For you, Howard... try about a 2.0 in 17.5 and about a 1.5 in USGT - good luck!

I came out once last month, with my wife and 8y old brother-in-law. It was a Sunday, so we just did practice with my SC10 4x4. We had a lot of fun and everyone was nice. My wife and myself have 2 TCs and want to bring those out our next trip out. I really want to run my rebuilt my Pro 3, but not sure what motor I should buy to race with the rest of the group. Does everyone run 17.5 or 13.5? Are there any restrictions I should be aware of before setting up my car to race? I love on-road cars and would love to race with you guys. Not so sure about the wife at the moment. She needs more time behind the wheel.

The biggest class is generally 17.5 touring car. The most popular motors are either D3.5's or D4's but others can be competitive too. Blinky, no boost ESC and come have some fun.
