Class 5 only

[Wendell #527]

I won't make the September race unless my back makes a miraculous recovery. I'm not as broken as Wheezy's x-rays show, but I'm broken just a little (one disk into my spine). I wish I could race. Maybe I'll be there helping Jeepgeek as a course marshall, but prolly not gonna be racing it...

It takes time to build REAL race cars Frosty. This ain't no jalopy POS.

Milking my broken back? Are you really that ignorant?

WOW! That's impressive. Is that something RACECO does for an additional fee?

HAHA.. Just yankin your chain Wheezy.

If raceco did it the top bolts would be straight and perfect.

LOL!! Thats funny considering how much the docs are making... Wheezy, do you still have the hardware in or is is out now?

On another subject, is anyone using a morse-style cable for their throttle cables...or will it gummed up? I'm upgrading my setup after the broke cable at last weekend's race...

I don't feel that a change is needed. Expanding motor options will not get entries up in my opinion and will only taint the class. #5099

We have used a morse cable in the past and it worked pretty good for a while but after a couple years ours would start getting sticky. We were just about to get a replacement when we got the electronic throttle with the eco swap. Fly by wire baby!! no cables to stick ever again

I have a great idea, can we get a mod to give us a class 5 forum so we can get rid of half the tire kickers, wannabees and trouble makers. Lets lock it, and make it a excusive club like the TT guys you wanna talk, you gotta have a car

Great Idea
