Rug Racers are toying with the idea of introducing a heat of ‘Fun Run’ racing. This will consist of the chassis to be 2wd, maximum of 19 turn brushed motors and run on rubber tyres only, ideally Tamiya Minis or equivalent. The organisers must stress that TC racing is their number ‘1’ priority, and we will cater for this class first, but if you own a 2wd Mini/Mardave bring it with you. If time allows they will consider the ‘Fun Run’ heat. No marshals, so to finish 1st, you 1st have to finish!
