Mickey, the answer I have isn't there.

8th Oval is a gas class and I prefer electrics. I've never raced any gas class since it is not something I want to do. HTH

Thought that. Was looking at producing a 1/8 electric oval before, might have to give it a try. Although when you've got nitro's running right they can be so much fun to drive

1. No appeal in a contact class.
2. I've seen the tyres these guys go through!

1. hotrods are non contact
2. you've got a point BUT the Tyres are cheaper in the first place(£6 for 2 Tyres and £1.60 wheels) and no addative, no Tyre warmers and you only get through a front outside and rears in 2-3 meetings and front inside can be just a worn out rear

Looks like nascar, round and round and round and round and round.

I'll give it a miss.

I saw some going round at Holbeach earlier in the year, almost put me to sleep

I know it's probably a safety thing, but every time some one crashed (often), they stopped the race with a hooter till the track was clear

Stupid noise to, sounded like a bag of monkeys having a fight.
