Working on adding a couple classes
We talked today about a couple classes I'm working on adding into the rotation. Andy's wanted a slow vintage class for the old cars so that's one of them and the other we came up with that many of us...

Well, I know one thing... You all thought Supertires were hard to true on a tire truer? Wait til you try a set of Indy Grips!! Those are just plain stubborn to true.... I'll be looking into a set of...

Any front tire may be used, max width ??? I would go with any front tire as long as they're not wider or taller than the rear tires.
View ArticleRe: Working on adding a couple classes
I'm thinking the widest narrow fronts would probably be the Carrera slicks like they had on the Maserati I think. I might have one in the box somewhere that I can measure.Shouldn't have to true your...

I just compared the IG 2002 with the IG 7002. There is a big height difference, with the 7002 being considerably taller than the 2002.While this will raise the car, which could be a good thing for...

"standard Ninco 20x7 narrow tires"What are these tires made of? I like the idea of a slow class because I'm so slow!
View ArticleRe: Working on adding a couple classes
So it sounds like we could spec the IG2002 if we want silies or the Ninco rubber tires which wouldn't hurt my feelings as most of my cars have them now. Do both fit on the CBD wheels alright?matt

most of my skinny cars from that era are front engine. can i hack the chassis to move the motor back? speedy
View ArticleRe: Working on adding a couple classes
I've been racking my brain on how too get these different cars to run close... and BANG, it hits me...We all have a timing system that has a minimum lap setting. We could use this as a "breakout",...
View ArticleRe: Working on adding a couple classes
Depends on who sets the minimum lap. So it sounds like with this scenario what we would spec is the recommended stuff as NC1 level power, stock Ninco tires, 9/27 gear ratio etc. I would say that we...

I'm running IG2009's and IG7012 on my 3 AC Cobra's that we used to race in the old WNR class with the NC1's. They work fine but again these were all bone stock except for tires and installing the old...

Matt:In the Vintage Sportscar Class, if you're spec'ing those specific rear tires that means no slot.it rear ends then right? In this case no change to gear ratios could be allowed.Marc

Great,I can run my Austin Healy and not look foolish.Not that it's ever stopped me before.

In the Vintage Sportscar Class, if you're spec'ing those specific rear tires that means no slot.it rear ends then right? Did you know those tires fit our new 15x7 wheels?
View ArticleRe: Working on adding a couple classes
We'd be allowing any wheel with 15x7 max size. My stock Ninco's actually ran pretty smooth but are a touch over the 2" width limit so for stock wheels the axles might need to be trimmed a bit. I...
View ArticleRe: Working on adding a couple classes
minimum read eliminates me. been there, tried that. won't elaborate here. i realize that it's difficult to make a prototypically slower class slow. how about really low gearing or loads of weight? or...
View ArticleRe: Working on adding a couple classes
Hmmm, so I'm assuming the breakout lap time didn't work in real life. The tires we're looking at are in the 9/32 wide range so pretty narrow. If we go with stock Ninco rubber there will be a bit of...
View ArticleRe: Working on adding a couple classes
Matty, the breakout stuff wasn't much fun for almost anybody. it was always artificial. we all moved to other nights/classes until it went away every time. seems to me at this point that you have to...
View ArticleRe: Working on adding a couple classes
You might find a car with nice true wheels but its usually not the case so we allow the axle/wheels since it's better than having to buy a dozen cars or new stock axles hoping they're good.There is...
