Whats a fast

I'm going to bet that it's the same as a fenderless SS car. The .4 added to each wheel isn't going to account for much. I bet the top BASX car goes nearly 2.980. 2.983 maybe? The lack of fenders will be the difference. IMHO. We'll see how far off I am on the 31st! lol!
 
Several pros have indicated that they will be in that class for this event. I would expect them to bring their "A" game as always.

i was thinking at least .01 slower or .015

2.99-2.995 you say? With JBD, WK, GX and the like sending cars? Even if QT doesn't enter the class I feel pretty confident in my statement. Those guys could go sub2.99 using the slots!
 
With the times my BASX is running I think my car will be in the high 2.987Low 2.99 . It will be tough to break 3 SEC. With the wheels and bodies without fenders. Just keep in my my fastest SS fastest time is a 2.9725. I would say most BASX will be in the high 2.99 to 3.10. I will only be running this class this event being its a PROMO.. Good luck guys ..

Well I was a little off! The two fastest runs were 2.9899 and 2.9886 so I missed it by nearly .006.

Still an excellent guess!

I nearly cracked Sub 3, I was knocking on the door. I know I said I would bow out after this inaugural kick-off race for this BASX class, but it was too much fun. And too not run in this class again... best challenge yet! Maybe once I crack the Sub 3....

Just for fun, if you take WK's times on Zeebs 63' track for Blackeye divided by the time it ran when that car won May's race with the league you get 1.4911934. Take the average time Black Motor ran at Zeebs, 4.4453, divided by 1.4911934 and you get............2.9810. That is an amazingly fast BASX car!

W&k's first car was fast, he built a second one and sent it to Andy's and it was faster yet, yeah they are fast cars, with John in it as well, third place trophy is looking like first place for the rest of us.

.....and that is why you need to race for your own personal best each time! Eventually you'll be the fast guy.

So much for entry level class
 
I dont think John's intention was for this class to be entry level as much as an economic class for people. It is the cheapest class to get into.
 
Odd I Understand That May Be The Idea Of The Class, But I Would Rather Be On The Heals Of The Very Best Than Winning Agsinst Average Cars (I Have A Ways To Go Before I Can Do Either)
