Mini class

So are we going to see the start of a mini class at speed world? I have been thinking of getting the losi mini 8ight just to run at the track since every review says they are good in the track.

A mini class would be cool. Here's an idea - for 1st timers/novice & mini classes - Speed World should have a removable section of pipe that only allows these classes to race through a part of the track. In other words, they could circumvent the stage and just put a little jump that jumps the pipe near the landing of the Ski Jump. Then all the drivers would have to do is the last few rolling jumps headed back to the lap sensor. This would prevent many problems for the kids who are just starting out. They'd break a lot less equipment, and the jumps would be super small.

Just an idea...

After I typed this - I talked to Joey and it's pretty much under way.

Just make a little removable bridge to go over the pipe after the ski jump.

The mini class was actually pretty cool. I couldn't believe just how fast those things were. The staff did make the changes to the track to enable the novice drivers to make it around the track without breaking or struggling too hard. THis was great for some, but not soo good for others. Speed World had a difficult job. When you make changes to try to better something it seems that someone will always be affected negatively by the changes. Here is what should probably happen next time. I think the minis should be allowed to go up on the stage and down the ramp. Right after exiting the ramp between the ski jumps is where the little crossover should be placed, so right as they exit the ramp they'd just go straight over the pipe. Overall, this is how it should work. Newbies can cross the little bridge over the pipe after the ramp, and more advanced racers can continue on up the wall ride and over the ski jump --- this way it's racers choice. I think this would be the best option for both the advanced mini racer and the novice. As icing on the cake, the extended route for the advanced racers may actually even out the lap totals. I don't know, what do you all think??

I agree. All that needs to happen is place the piece down coming straight off the stage ramp over the pipe leading onto the rhythm section. Great idea Gino.

Done deal. Those Mini's are cool

wow this is Awesome!! There is some interest on the minis after all.
I already have a couple minis but definitely wanted a mini 8ight.

I am now ready for Saturday!! It will be awesome!!

Not sure how many minis will be out this weekend since Jorge and me only go every other weekend and we were there last weekend.
