Thanks for pointing out the 1/4 scale ---------- I'll get on that --- do you know anyone that will run 1/4 scale?

The bikes are set.
If you have the desire to run more than 2s------ Electric open is the class to run.
N

The Electric Open seems to be related to cars. A Electric Bike Open would be a nice choice as well, just incase some crazy guy shows up with some insane monster bike.

Hi

We can look at the bike class but the restriction is to ensure a level playing field for this class. If you want to run a bike with 3 x .28 engines or a Neu 2215 motor running 12 lipo cells then you can enter the open classes. With only 2 wheels you might have an advantage over the cars

That's right, bikes are now "Open" (no restrictions). So whatever you think you can put down to the ground! lol


BTW
I'd like to welcome Associated as a new sponsor!

Like the new avatar Nic, great movie!

Glad more sponsors are jumping on board.

Man.. I wish I had more time to go... SH*T!!!.. I want to go bad..!!!

OH BOY!!!! Rockingham is only about 1.5 hours from me. I think I may be in attendance at this. :mdr::mdr::mdr::mdr:

Let me gear up the Mugen and put some street tires on it. :mdr:

Here's my 2 cell entry----------------

Looks good Nic. I made a couple of speed runs with my 2S set up and I was able to reach 65mph. I'll be trying some different things to make it faster. I'm also waiting for a few new ESCs that should be awesome for sped runs.

Hey Guys
***We are going to a limit the number of entries, to 80***

Since the WFRCCC events yielded so few attendants we did not put a limit on the amount of entries.
But there seems to be a lot of interest – and after doing the math --- the 2008 International Speed Challenge, Might even, turn into a 2 day event.

So
Get your pre-entries in & plan to be flexible.
This is event is gaining more & more momentum. It now has the attention of Speed TV!



Speed is Cool
N

Man I would love to watch this on tv as I cant go. I bet everyone else feels that way too. I hope they dont want *someone* to arm drop......

Will this event be free to attend? I'm only interested in watching, since I don't have enough $$ to put something together. ;)

Spectators dont have to pay. Free to watch!

Somebody know where to watch if you life in the Netherlands? Internet site or something?

Come on out ---------- we need a true Monster Truck Champion !

Nic,

We both share a passion for speed. I love that movie. Before I came to the US, I used to race kart in Brasil. I was competing against 200cc+, but I only had a 125cc engine. My grandfather came to the US and got a small turbo so I could be competitive with the other guys. Well 120mph was the fastest my kart went, but being so low to the ground, it felt more like 200mph. Keep the records coming, I enjoy watching your cars do the unbelievable. One day I hope to meet you face to face, it would be a great honor.

Regards,

Luciano.

Anything we can do to help that along? I'd love to watch it.

hey Nic, thanks for the movie recommendation...that preview freakin' rocks.
i just got the DVD on ebay....thanks! :party:

Wow Nick. Cangratulations! Thats just amazing!

I was just looking at the pictures of that car. Thats a work of art. What kind of tires were those that withstood the 160+ mph run? They look like roller skate material or something.

Congratulations Nic. Really incredible when put in perspective.

Nic, great job! 161 mph is insane! I think your car also wins best sounding vehicle. :yes:

Congrats Nic, I was surprised you didn't bump up the speed last year. You made up for it this year though, congrats. Is there plans for next year? If on the east coast again, I'll try to bring something

Nic was waaaaaaay faster, but I think this sounds better that a 'whooosh'!

truly amazing cars Nic

a vendetta that does 86.9mph:gasp:

That is insane and truly a great effort .
Well done Nick .

The wheels were custom machined with special rubber vulcanised onto the rims

I prefer PC's car....
