Hey All!

As the Snowbirds quickly approaches there is alot of interest building about the Sprint car class and what the chassis set-up will be like, especially from the guys coming from the dirt tracks to the carpet. This thread should be a nice place to help share the set-up information for all to see so that everyone has fun with this year's first running of the Sprints @ Snowbirds.

On the CustomWorksRC.com website you will find information about the class, blank set-up sheets, and a full set-up sheet of what the guys preparing their Sprints for the Bird's have found worked best.

Any set-up questions feel free to ask!

Thanks,
Arnie Fie

I'm trying to get a class of non winged sprints going at my local carpet track. I hope to get it as a regular class for next season. I hope the snowbirds will help to bring interest for non wing sprints at all local tracks.
Good Luck.

That sounds pretty cool. Maybe that'll be my second class!
