    I like the rules. This class really needs a name. This will get really confusing when each class is being called to the lanes etc.

      Both classes will be called at the same time. But I agree maybe a class and b class

        Yeah.....that won't work. Unc (or whoever runs the Facebook page) called it the limited class on Facebook.

        I like Tex275 Limited. That has a nice ring to it.

              You bet your ass I plan on racing. Believe that!!

              All I meant is that we should come up with a proper name for the class, not just A and B.

              I like the limited name though.

                    I bet a track burger with fries and a large drink. Jason won't race in this.
                    Any takers?

                            I think e85 should be allowed on non-intercooler combos.
                            One day at a time.

                              Rules look good! Most of the races be at Ennis again?

                              Any reason why you couldn't run E85 in anything? I don't see it having an advantage over C/Q16.
