There's a couple things I want to settled for the final race of the season. The first is which other class would you like to see run. I'm seriously considering AFX Street or Stock T-Jet. Both of these are only run once this year. The other is the hauler race. This should be fun. Here's what I've got so far. It has to be something that would haul a race car to the track, be it a pick up with a trailer, ramp truck, roll back, semi tractor trailer etc, get creative. I think I'll put a minimum weight on them, just slightly less than a stock AFX tractor trailer set up and it must be a pancake motor,14 ohm, ceramic mags. As far as a specific chassis I'd all most like to leave it open, magna traction, 4 gear,t-jet,what ever you want. It'd be cool if they're painted up with your team logo and or colors but that's not all that important. The big thing is keep the rules simple and have fun with it. What your ideas?

Hey Tom, A few questions - are you considering which class to run besides the haulers.... two in all ? Think there are 2 more x-trac races, not sure. Was thinking of making ramp truck.......... do you know approximate weight ? Might have to put car on back. ........ Peter

Peter, we're going to run the 4 gear altereds, the haulers and one more class, I was thinking the magna x street or the T-Jet stock, but I'm open to ideas. As far as the weight on the trucks a stock A/W semi weighs in at 59.3 grams on my scale. I'm thinking about using 58 grams as a minim. The other thing is I'd really like it if the trailer or " load" on the truck didn't come off on the launch or in the shut down. Glue it, screw it, strap it, or stick it down with magnets, what ever it takes. I just want to return them in the same condition as I got them.

Think the only stock t-jet race is the upcoming event at , Bear Creek.
Would have never guessed rigs were so heavy. Might have to fill car with led to make weight. Been looking at early haulers like Hot Wheels had.in the seventies.
