My local track is looking for a new oval class for carpet racing this winter. We have been racing 4 cell brushless oval pan cars but with the high speeds and the new drivers combined with experienced drivers is causing a lot of chunked foam tires. We are tossing the idea around of either sedan oval or edm buggy oval. We all agree that we want to stay with rubber tires. We want the racing to mimick outdoor oval in that we want the cars to not be totally planted all the time, so you have to actually Drive the car. We will be using Novak brushless 5800 systems in them but we dont know if we want to slow the cars down to 4cell to even out the racing or to open them up to 6 cell and make it so you have more power than you need. If you have more power than you need then the best set up car wins but the lesser experinced guy may put the car in the wall with all the power.
And as far as the oval sedans, we dont want to get into all the aftermarket oval sedan conversions. Because that just drives the costs up and UN-levels the playing field. Is it possible to have close racing when everyone has a different sedan?
So let me know what you all think on this idea. We have a group of guys that just want a cheap, fair, even, and most of all FUN class to race. I dont know if there is such a thing but we'll see.
