In an effort to see if there would be support for the 17.5 Truck class I've been asked by some guys to start a poll. 17.5 Sportsman Truck is now an expo class at the Snowbirds so let's get that sign up going!!!!

Thanks,
Bill

I voted for the wrong truck class ment 17.5. That's what happens when you get old you can't see anymore.

Here in Fla we still have a large class of 21.5 Nastruck, so I voted 1 for Nastruck.

interesting how the second biggest class voted on isn't even listed for snowbirds. Does that mean all those will change to the 21.5 2 cell truck class.

No, will run 10.5 1 cell if there is no 17.5. Need a 2nd class and that is simply a body and motor swap. Would prefer the slower classes, but no going all that way to only run one class.

Sorry, no 2 cell here... hoping we might can get a 17.5 exhibition class. Who knows, maybe the racing gods will have favor on us.

If not look out 10.5 class, it's going to be a riot. :freak:

Bill, the % of each class is interesting, it adds up to well over 100%.

Total of the votes is incorrect also, should be about 110.

Looks like the math may be based on the number of voters vs. the number of votes(multiple classes selected not be put into the total votes thus skewing the % per class.

I know you don't control the math, interesting just the same.

But the poll looks favorable, anyone contact Mike yet?

Dude you're right... must be the multiple choice option. Haven't personally talked to Mike Boylan but who knows, maybe we'll get an exhibition class. I really enjoy the 17.5 class, at our track we have a good show of racers every week and growing and the racing is real close. Most of the racers are on the same lap and swapping the lead a lot.

I'll be there no matter and hopefully the 17.5 class will get the showcase that it deserves, which may just help build it at more tracks and get more guys into oval.:wave:

12-01-2009, 11:41 AM
Tour rules are http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=262829

short of it, 17.5 1 cell, truck body, world GT tires, 25C smc battery.

TOUR Rules work great... differences from other truck classes would be the 25c pack, world GT tires with the blue ring, back of body must be left in and no more than a 2" spoiler. This class demands a really good setup and consistent lines due to the fact that there is no rip to make up for bad driving. Lap times for the birds would probably be somewhere around 4.5-4.7 up front to 4.9-5.0 ending. Guys who haven't been racing in a while or guys who can't afford the tire bills for the other classes will live the trucks. Tires just DON'T wear. Don't be afraid to sign up for the class just because you've been racing for a while. If you aren't a fully sponsored racer, never really have been able to compete at the faster speeds of 13.5 or 10.5 racing, just returning and don't have all of the latest greatest stuff, or just getting started in oval... this is the class to be in.

OK so the color is Purple... I tried to stay blue since I'm running the R5 but I guess you guys are going to force me to add purple to the car :rolleyes: It's kind of blueish purply in color. :wave:

Boylan is going to announce the complete rule package soon.
