Desert rules for this race? I think there is a Class called Light Buggy back east, but I do not know there rules for the car.

 

[oldman dirt]

same rules as the desert

Glen Helen has a race already scheduled for that weekend and we could jump on the band wagon with them. I have contacted Bob Beyer and told him about what we are trying to do with this event and a super series in 2010 that would include a short course venue.
As soon as I get MORE info I will post it up. Like to get a car count for this. I see no reason why we couldnt get 20-30 cars. the track isnt hard on equipment, and is a great place to race where everyone can watch all the action.

What would/can you change on your car for a short course and still be legal?

 

[oldman dirt]

the best set up is to leave it alone, except for the rear tires. I used to run low profile tires in the rear and groove them up. All the other stuff was the same. A shorter desert tire would work as well, you need to be able to "slide" the car through the turns and not hook and roll. A smaller tank and a steering brake, and tear offs, cause it gets muddy. and bring a hose !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to return your pm but it says you cant recieve them---must need parental approval or something --LOL

 

[Shred918]

I have been hunting down that demon for awhile... I think I finally fixed it. I sent you another PM Giti.

GLEN HELEN SHORT COURSE OFFROAD SERIES RD #7

 

[oldman dirt]

we are looking at a 2 race mx style format--2nd heat trumps the first.
Working on the cost but it would more than likely be almost 100 percent payback and some bonuses---
lets say 15 cars @ $400.00 THATS $6000.00 IN PAYBACK 1-4
!.) $2400.00
2.) $1800.00
3.) $1200.00
4.) $600.00

 

[oldman dirt]

45 minute to hour motos
