yea i think it will do but we need to find away to keep the price down to see more.

I wish I could find some Long Island Pro 10 guys....

Tally, if it wasn't for me being divorced with a kid my wife and I would be moving to your neck of the woods tomorrow....

yea it tought to get the class going again but just keep looking for cheap cars and just get them out and run them if only some hot laps.

taz, that's my plan.. just run it and get some interest going..

vtl. if i'm not racing tomorrow, i may go for a hike in the national forest, take a swim under a waterfall, you know, the usual...

if it were for example based on a 10l3, i could pick up all the running gear for cheap used.. then jsut get his conversion if offered... but his other conversions alone sell for the mid upper $200.. too rich for my blood..

yea it be cheaper to get the crc car.

i mean i'd like to get the darkseide car, but if it's in the $300 plus category, that defeats the purpose of finding a cheaper alternative to touring cars.. we all complain that tourers are getting too expensive, but look how much good oval cars are.. some are more than my xray t2...

yea but you still can get an l4 for 200 someting for oval and still win but with the tc going over 300 to 400 then had hop up ever 3 months still cheeper.

We'll see what we can do with these to keep the pricing down. I want to help bring this class back, not sink it for good.

it's not like we don't appreciate the work that goes into producing these kits, but my humble opinion would be that over $300 and it becomes a little more than most of us can swallow. especially since right now in most places it's 1 guy running his car trying (hoping) someone else will think it fun and try also... if it were my primary class i'd jump in up to my wallet.. as i do with touring.. unfortuantely, touring is soaking me.. tires, batteries, parts... i'd hate to even suggest maybe even a G-10 sport version like xray is doing now? (i think g-10 is what the carbon-like material is called)

sort of a P.S. honestly i truely appreciate you effort in even producing the car at all.. i'm sure it is a huge financial and time consuming effort on your part.. i hope the class comes back too.

just checking in and see how it going in here.

taz it's slowwwwww.. i try to post to as many of these threads a i can to keep them floating...

I glanced at your post, I'm burned out racing. If I race at all next year, I think the only thing that would help is to run the 1/10 pan car. I had a blast racing the car, far less maintance.
I been trying to get some intrest in this class at our club, but the guys like the touring class.
