I think you are right. It is tough these days. Hopefully the economy will pick back up by the time I get my 10 car built.

..was the day they let anything other than an air-cooled flat four not displacing more than 1650cc into it, IMHO. I liked it when it was a truly limited motor and unlimited suspension. Now it's unlimited costs with limited performance.

We used to have multiple Class 10 heats at Riverside.

My personal opinion and I like class 10 myself. But its a class that has let the cost of the motors get out of hand. The class 10 car is really a light weight class 1 car with a motor that probably cost more to buy and maintain for one season then a class 1 motor will. I think that is why we have not seen as many new 10 cars being built over the last year or so.

Everyone is always saying that, but to build a real class one race motor, not a stock Ls whatever, is more than the most expensive ten motor. it definetly is not a cheap class but how many classes in off-road racing are "cheap" to the people racing that class?

If all goes to plan we will be at both laughlin and parker. Laughlin for sure, putting the motor and tranny in tonight and going testing this weekend! cant wait, the whole CANIDAE family is pumped to kick off the 2009 season and hopefully get ourselves another chamionship like we did in 2008!

MORE entries are way down as well with only four cars signed up with little over a week left. Sign of the times and too many good races only a couple weeks apart.

I think there will be close to 20 class 10 cars when all said and done. I know a guy with a little green car that will be flying around parker that weekend.
