We will be running 5 minute heats and mains just like last Saturday. If you weren't here it was a BLAST!
The track has been widened and that opens it up to MANY more classes and sizes. Here is what we can run Saturday:
Recoil Oval
Slider Oval (includes Late Model for now)
Mini-T Oval
1/18th Pan Car Oval (Buds or Scalpel)
1/18th Touring Oval (may be combined with pan car)
1/10 Legends Oval (4-cell, no lower than 27T motor this week, Final rules TBD)
1/10 Nascar Pan Car(4-cell, no lower than 27t motor this week, Final rules TBD)
If 3 of any of these show up we'll run them. Want to try something else on the new layout... Bring it.
Thanks!
