So I'd be interested in running this class, but I don't think my little h/c car stands a chance! I usually see your buddies up at the track on friday night and their cars are nuts. Hopefully I'll get some saturdays off this year and make a few events!

It cost $25 to enter, and we will be having a "non qualifiers" race for the 9-16 that didn't make the quick 8. It heads up 1/8 mile so Its alot of fun. Im sure with your car on the spray it will move out

JL I'd love to, but see my recent post, the new truck won't allow a new motor

Yes rules are you are not allowed to tow into the lanes, your only allowed to tow back after a pass. The reason for this is these are supposed to be "street" type cars. Sucks because NED's staging lane goes uphill too so its not easy to push.

Before the first race I will ask the committee what they think about allowing it. I think its a stupid rule myself, but i didnt write the rules.

How far is NED from Baltimore?

I like being able to tow up... saves battery, gas and keeps heat out of the motor.
