Well they are already at it the BRP car gets good review and they cut it down 2wd vs 4wd thing!! Check it out. I'm not going to get involved I'll just let the mag do there thing.
Final test should be Li Po batts and brushless with a 200 ft run into a concrete wall at a 45 degree angle. That will show them :thumbsup:

If they can't beat it, take pot shots. Oh well, cream always rises to the top.

Hey, maybe they should test with the front wheel drive disabled. Then it would be apples to apples. Course, that would take away their excuse for not measuring up.

I ran my car on a similar oval and had fun. It might seem a little tight if your cars are quick, but fun anyway.

Yes You can but make sure the track is cleaned off. Tire traction makes them pretty touchy on steering. I have had some shops cut carpet to fit in the track and another used rubber sheating.

This is what we run our CP Cup Cars on at Franks,http://www.snowbirdnationals.com/franks.htm
It's basically a Slot car track with no slots.

Not that I know of. As far as i know I may be the only one that races there that has a BRP Car. I'll probably try it soon.

That looks like a cool track....Are they all Mini Z's or do you have a few XMods?

We run mostly CP Cup conversions based on the Mini Z F1 chassis. Some of the guys run CP Cup2 conversions which is based on the Mini Z MR02 chassis. We call this class the Busch cars. They have special rims which allow the use of the F1 rubber. We also have a Pro Stock class, which is just stock MR02 chassis. A lot of the guys run lexan slot car bodies in this class. As far as X mods go, a few have run occasionally in Pro stock but they are not competitive. One of the main rules at the track is no stacked FETS or Turbo boards allowed. The fastest drivers usually run laps in the 3.6-3.7 sec. range consistently. Mike Boylan is the main guy behind this deal.( He also puts on a little race called the Snowbird Nationals every year).
