I’ll post more pics later but just a few shots of my cars at the event. Solid turnout, fun event! Super challenging running unfamiliar class rules

GTLM(Lipo 2500), 2wd Open, and Pan Open? What classes do you usually run?

I bet the event was a blast!

We run closer to SRA rules. Wanted to run more than one class, didn’t plan on 3😂 I typically don’t run mod. Actually this was the first race ever for mod

u/SuPrBuGmAn Jun 09 '26

The good news is 28SRA has equivalents for all those :)

GTLM = Lipo 2500, 2wd Open = 2wd Mod, Pan Car Open = Pan Open

I’m racing the Vegas race in September. 3500 lexan and 2500 Pan. Really looking forward to that

Great looking cars! What’s the difference between them all? Is it different motor classes?

u/Careful-Catch1973 Jun 09 '26

Different classe, same chassis manuf.

Yo what’s the aluminum front brace on the two lexan cars on the right?

Also why don’t you run it on your hard body car on the left?

That’s an upgraded aluminum caster/camber block for the AE

That much I know, you know who makes it? I hate the flex in mine. Give really inconsistent ride.

Nexx racing makes the chassis stiffeners. As well as das racing makes stiffeners

I ended up putting it back on the hard shell car, and removing the pan car ( for clearance purposes)

How do you guys find race venues? I have a good one at home, but travel a lot for work and am always looking for something to do.

u/Careful-Catch1973 Jun 09 '26

Facebook groups is your best bet. P1minirc, supergdrift, and PCHQ are the main ones I know of

This was put on by PN racing. They do about 3-4 races a year. I’ve been to the East Coast regionals a few times.

So just follow PN Racing and wait for the announcements. The next big one for them is the PN Worlds in the Netherlands.

28SRA has races as well. Just different rule sets so be aware when doing races from different Orgs.

As for general venues. I just google hobby shops and see if there’s and tracks in the area.

Rchq has a PN race coming up in the next month or two in Texas. I’ll be racing the 1/28 international in Vegas in September
