In the F1 class can I run a rear spoiler "1/2" on the body like the other 2 classes?

No spoilers allowed on f-1's in IRRA and most other groups. You pick up 1/8" on tracking width to help out.

No worries Brian. You will find the retro racers are a very helpful group. When you get here you will have all the help and answers you need.

If you've only been doing this for a short time I would suggest to just go watch . Unless you're like me and like hands on experience. Good luck to everyone at the R4.

Nah, go to race!  The days at the R4 are long, so there's lot's of time to learn things, and as Mike says, everyone is more than willing to help out new guys.  Spend the weekend there and you wil go home with a ton of knowledge.

One last question then I'll leave you all alone. What is the max width for the front & rear tires?

Thanks Mike, I didn't think it would be the same at Can - Am & GTC. I'm having issues getting the rules pulled up on my phone.
