Série Nitro Spec / Spec Nitro Sreries

[Spiderone]

Règlement pour la série Nitro Spec.

OVERVIEW:
The idea is to keep things simple and fair. Everyone will run the same car, engine, electronics, tires and starting equipment. Also there will be no setup involved, cars will be run as they came out of the box, there will be no need to change shock angles, oils or get springs or sway bars, the cars will be the same on the track for everyone (good or bad). As the series goes on if something comes up as a weakness in the car that would be cost effective to change or replace on the car for say a hop-up. The group would decide as a group. Again we don't want all out aluminium graphite conversions of the car as we take a step back to full out race cars.  There is no question that these cars are not world class race machines so we wont waste money trying to improve them for nothing. After all we all will running the same car..

ran my RS4 this afternoon for the first time this year...Im getting anxious for the season to begin lol

on a side note: is the driver stand close enough to the pits that the driver can deal with any issues, or when I come up should I plan on bringing a friend up to be my pit crew?

also, the rules say "No Suspension tuning (springs, oils, sway bars, ect)"...does this also mean no using the different shock mounting points?

[Spiderone]

Hi Kyle, the driver stand is very high and large, so if your car have an issue you might not be able to get it by yourself. You can bring a friend or take somebody already on the site, I never heard someone tell he had a pitman for the race. I am sure somebody will help you.

Yes if you have optional holes to mount your shocks, you can use it.

ah ok, wasnt sure if I was going to need to worry about pitting for fuel. Thanks

[MugenKyle]

Guess I should have read a little closer...missed this part the first time I read through, maybe I need glasses lol

there will be no need to change shock angles, oils or get springs or sway bars, the cars will be the same on the track for everyone (good or bad).

[Spiderone]

No I think it is my glasses the problem.
