I dont have any vids but on sunday I will it should easily I think set a new track record cuz all the ppl that run the oval run stadium trucks, buggies, and truggies
no I dont run oval alot but wouldnt you think it would be common sense to run a touring car with the chassis raised up

here is a pic of the oval it is 300ft total length

im wondering how good it will drift or as us dirt guys say "dirt trackin it" since its 4wd i would think it might wanna keep the back end from kickin out, but then again 1 whell will be off the ground and i havent driven a 4wd touring car so i dont realy know...all i know is that it should be fun

Except from the 1/8 on road racers I strongly believe that 1/10 touring cars move faster than any 1/8 when on track. Now for an oval track...I really don't know.
