milan 8.5 class

**johnquick302** · 01-29-2009, 04:27 PM

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

hopefully, im not going to race if i think im gonna get blown out every month. if i can go some rounds i think ill have fun. depending on how much my car slows down with the weights, it looks like i should be middle of the pack and that is with the pro racers that race in the big classes. hopefully for me milans deal does not draw any of those guys.

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.
