matt5858 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Question, I have a friend wanting to get into the Grand class. He wants to know if he can run a old Mercedes. It has a 110 wheelbase. Can anyone fill me in on this. Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie37 Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 I just asked Bryan about that and he said you can as long as it meets the wheelbase rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbucket Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 How is this class coming together as far as car count, I'm thinking of selling me dirt car and starting over in this class,just wondering if it was looking like a good car count or not.

NickHolt Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 tbucket, I don't have the numbers but I think this class has got lots of potential. THR is ideally suited for such a class and I know there is a real need for a genuine entry level class there. That being said, any time you start a new class there's bound to be growing pains. But what really makes any new class successful is the commitment of the track owners to that class and the desire of potential competitors to run in a class that meets their "fun per buck" criteria. And from what I know, it sounds very much like the THR owners are committed to seeing the class grow and there has been a lot of interest shown by people wanting to build. I'm really tempted to put one together myself, but I know that would be a huge conflict of interest.. sigh.. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorttrack29 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 I'm building an 82 LTD to bring to the new grand stock class. I couldn't find mention of the cost per race to enter, or any prize money. Anybody know how much I should set aside to cover those costs (I plan to run 1/3 or 1/4 of the race weekends). Also, does the $1000 claimer rule really work the way I read it (anybody from the stands that night could just bring $1000 and have a race car for the next weekend's races?)? If so, I guess people should be keeping the price of their car below $1000..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt5858 Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I think it will be very hard to build a grand car. Unless if you have a bunch of hand me down parts and pieces. I am not saying that it cant be done, but it will be hard for someone who doesnt know anyone. I also think that Thunderhill Raceway will suceed in building this class, it will just take some time. Good Luck to everyone building a car and remember " Safety First" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
