Well i am finally getting around to posting. I actually raced in the M04 class which is rwd mini cars that use a miata (Eunos Roadster) body. i actually wound up placing second in my class! I also got the oppertunity to meet Bill Wilner which was cool because it was my first time meeting anyone from clubroadster. Here are a few pictures from the event. P.S. my car is the silver miata (roadster, i know i know).

looks awesome dave, what kinds of mods are you limited to?

 

[Roadster Dave]

you are allowed to use any tamiya option part designed for the chassis. Basically only tamiya parts but you are not allowed to modify the chassis or suspension by cutting it up or anything like that. you can see the rules here http://www.tamiyausa.com/articles/feature.php?article-id=225 if you are interested. It is the M04 rwd class. These rules are also for nationals which are a little more strict as you must purchase the motor and battery at the race to keep things fair.
