milan 8.5 class
anybody else gonna run it this year. im pretty pumped up about it. 1/8th mile stuff, small tires, not enough room for turbo cars to run around me, cant wait. this might turn into my new addiction, class racing...

I am pretty happy to see this class myself. I don't think I will be running in anything but I will be watching this to see how things go.

Hmmmm. Reeeaaaalllly??
It does sound like a cool class to play in. I tried to talk Raj into trying drag radial but he thinks we would look like fags getting beat down. I looked at it as 3-4 passes on a sweet track. Maybe this would be an option, it would definately give us some much needed learning with this boost controller.

do it up. more people i know there the funner it will be. think panetta and bub are doing it. i wish the nitrous sb cars could weigh a lil less but ill need alot of that ballast to work on the small tire. and ill more than likely only run 1 kit. not worth the 100lbs weight penalty for the 2nd. i didnt even pick up a tenth with the second kit to the 1/8th anyways. ill just put more in the first and mess with that fancy msd box i dont know how to use yet, lol

I think if you do well, you might get addicted. I think you will do well also. Maybe the little tire will make it so the bigger motors don't have so much of an advantage over that little 363.
