I continue to like the idea… the only challenge is in the number of racers.  If we have at least 10 racers active in each series it starts to make sense, assuming that we can create a split between 50/50 and 60/40 based on a rule like Marty’s proposed pct of best performance rule.

Great write up Ary.  Can’t wait to see how they run.

Do we bracket our own cars or do we have someone else do it.  (Or at least have a second driver verify the bracket time?)

I like the definitions of the classes and the rules are generally pretty simple.  

A couple of things:

1. I think we still want to limit the RPM of the motor. For example: Say you’re building a narrow chassis car that takes a FF-050 motor. There are FF-050 motors available that range from 10k to 39k RPM.  To keep speeds closer to a scale representation and field more even on available power we probably want to limit that to 14k.
2. Just to be clear: we will run RTR and Scratch built together.  Not as separate classes. 

BTW: That timeline document is pretty interesting.

I’m with Jim.  Keep it running.  Gives the rest of us a target to shoot for.

This will truly be interesting for me, and not necessarily in a good way. The secret mid-west test track was rained out so I’m no farther ahead than two or three weeks ago. Perhaps further behind.

They should have put on full wet’s.  Imagine the roostertail of dust and dirt that would have thrown!

I was telling the wife that I would be downtown at 7:00 AM on Saturday!  

Thanks for posting though!  Saved me a wasted trip.
