I have a lot of rear Indy tires as of yesterday. I have no front tires as the car came with them and they don't wear out like the rears.

What the ----? How did dying come into this conversation! I think you got on the wrong page Doomsday!

As most know who race here we have a vote at the beginning of each year and at the halfway point in the season as to what we will race for points and a backup class for fun on the same night.

I thought I would start sharing the vote count on this page. The class with the most votes will be our points class and the next most votes will be the fun class. Each racer votes for two classes. Not everyone cares to vote. The two classes that won the vote the first of the season are not eligible for a vote for the second half of the season. The beginning of this season (2019) we voted for Sportsman for points and NASTRUCK for the fun class. I don't have the count for that vote. I do have the count for the second half of the season:

Indy car...................1. vote.
Can-Am...................2.
TA2.........................4.
NASCAR...................6.
Early Modified............6.
As you can see the NASCAR and Early Modified tied. I always hold my vote for a tie breaker if needed. But we tossed a coin instead ( keeping me free of any pain ). The coin toss gave NASCAR the point class.

The Sportsman class is close competition and a lot of fun with a simple designed chassis!

After the race last night ( Nov. 3rd 2018 ) during our BS session it was discussed to run a Porsche 962 race using Blue Groove Lexan bodies and no lights. It would be a special race like the Rapid 500 and the Rapid Grand Prix. I am definitely on board with it. The race could be an annual event like the other two starting in the 2020 season.

I used to race r/c cars also, but they were all gas powered back in the '60's and '70's. Still have them all.
