I say no. only because we are in the middle of a points battle and it would not be right to change the rules. Zack has a very good classic one car that has a fixed pod in it. I have one Im working on so I do have a pony in the fight also, maybe we can change the rules for next year and exclude pods. but for now leave it as is....

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,170 replies, posted in NASTE)
I have no problem with guys running a podded chassis has long as it is fixed. it opens up many more cars that can be run in the class and helps those that do not have the skills in building a brass chassis.it also opens up the gearing choice with these 14k motors being able to run 18mm gears or going inline. the big thing is that if a podded motor is used is to confirm the chassis and pod have been clued making it a one piece and if not then laps removed per heat (say two per heat Total of 6 for the race) or a dq is in order.

when we had our talk about rules 1965 was the cut off for class 1 and at that time it was thought that the 1st race for the gt40 was in 65, with that said the rules do say to 1964. so it legal to run then. would not be right to change rules in the middle of the points. unless there is 100% across the club that we say no...

Re: Competative LMP cars (5 replies, posted in Cars)
the slot it Lola is the car to beat right now. the mosler is good also. the Audi R8 is one that looks like it might be a good car also but guys are running every thing on that short list I made. find one you like and start tuning...any nsr car is going to work right out of the box and be fast. so you might think about going that rout.

Class 17 - Sportscar Era Class - LMP Era (LMP)

Any motors (22k limit), tires, driveline configuration, or chassis material may be used. Bodies must be injection molded or resin cast and not vacuum molded. Thunderslot brand RTR cars are NOT eligible for this class, but their driveline components (wheels, axles, gears, tires) and guide assembly may be used for tuning
so a short list would be
1. any of the nsr modern gt cars and the Mosler.
2. slot it gt cars such as the nissain p390 and the McLaren F1 GTR
3.SCALEAUTO gt cars like the viper ect
