Mister-e and all,

I have corrected the class for GT Mayhem...it is now 23T Brushed or 13T brushless....

I believe the 13T brushless is about the same as the Sport Tuned....

This is a start point, if we find that any particular spec is too powerful/fast, we will up it to the next class.

You all need to remember, having 12 classes with 12 racers does NOT make sense...

we need 3 classes max, with 25 racers, thats when it becomes FUN.

Mister-e, we will need some help from the nitro guys on their classes, and we will need someone to 'govern' them. Please ask around, or nominate yourself....

LOL

Regards

The nitro guys are familiar with the classes they are at.

Assuming that no transponder is used:

- Result of 3 heats define the winner. Otherwise 2 qualifications and 1 final. Start grid of final is as result of the qualification.
- To keep it simple, the race duration is 5 minutes, so no refuel is needed.
- Engine size: with anything bigger than .12 size engine, they can't reach 5 minutes laughing

- Timing system: Since we don't have a timing system, the amount of laps will be counted during the 5 minutes (with or without a computer software). The ones who stays on the track will get the most laps and is thus the winner.
- Tire: own choice, either rubber or foam. I wonder why they run the World Championships using foam tires scratch

- Nitro percentage: free choice. .12 engines are meant to run between 15 - 25% of nitro.

I think that's it.
Spread the news guys!!

Mister-e, all valid points, thanks for the input!....and you need to spread the word amongst the nitro fraternity...I doubt any of them hang out here at dubdrift....but from a 'registration' perspective it would help to have the names.

Hopefully we can get the timing gear up and running, it is sooo much better with it....

I will summarise the class rules for nitro and put it in the main post...
