WGT was 13.5 blinky at the Halloween classic but the flyer says open esc? Also its not listed as a class you can sign-up for on the sheet. Also Jaco WGT spec tyres were not allowed at the Halloween classic but are listed as legal. Could I get some insight on these issues?

Originally it was open but the Gate crew voted to go Blinky, last year it had a great turnout at the classic only to have only 2-3 at the other locations once not even that many so it was decided not to offer it this year. If we don't get enough pre entries it will be dropped from second leg and not mentioned again.

The tire issue seems to be some confusion over changes Jaco may have made. Simply put the purple stripe should denote lilac for most but jaco used to do a carbon looking wheel for the lilac, the ones in question had neither designator.

 

[old_dude]

I will chime in on this one. The Jaco wheels are white now instead of the carbon fiber look. They do not have a identifier stripe so most racing organizations do not allow them at special events like the HWC or the Indoor Champs. The oval series require the purple stripes in their spec classes also. ROAR is working on clarification of their rule as it does not require the ring but specifies the compound as Lilac, 38 shore. There is some question on the shore (hard to check) of the Jacos. The one person that ran them in one qualifier took them off stating they were too soft!! I allowed him to run them until I had claification from Ken but it became a non issue at that point.

 

[Miller Time]

simply put, no unique identifier, no can run.
