We won't be there this yr, I think they are gearing it more to the local guys to have fun. Careful with ther stopwatch stuff- get's out of hand in a hurry

We drive enough on the edge without a stopwatch- add fastest time wins and every team is driving on the hairy edge of what they think they can control- often there judgement can't keep up with the gazillion variables and they go wide and deep- if a crowd is there????

I'd say 16-24 each of the last 3 yrs, but I'm guessing

What do you do with 36.5's?

TEX

Here are the actual classification rules, direct from our website:

"Limited Small: Factory frame from front axle to rear with 36" or smaller tires

Limited Big: Factory frame from front axle to rear with taller than 36" tires

Unlimited: Tube or custom frame at any point between the axles, and any size tires."

Therefore, 36.5" tires (assuming one exists) is in the "Limited Big" classification.

Uh, no. The requirement is the OEM frame between the axles. The rules dont say nuttin about no UROC.

cj8rckcrlr · Jul 15, 2005

doc, i thought we said something about the uroc guys bein in the 3rd class, i guess i miss understood....

"how many competitors were there last year"

from what i understand, this isn't gonna be anything like the previous events...
but i guess us Rocket City guys dont have much say in the matter...
