so it is my understanding that you are back to d2 rules and not the run what you brung as it was a few weeks ago, is that correct?

Flora is an awsome place. But to fast for a budget midget class

At least the first few races over in Ohio we are sticking to the D2 format. Not ruling out adding more motors if they are a fit for the series. If you have a motor not listed and are interested in racing with us please send me a PM.
