no chit.... big open bowls... only folks winning the GNC were going to be in a buggy or on a bike.
I hate to say it but a quad just wasn't any competition in the long sweeping turns...
its like bringing a civic to a nascar race
Interesting you should say that. I brought that same issue up last season, how a track could be laid out to favor one type of vehicle over another based on how tight the turns were, how long the straightaways were, etc.
You should have seen the teeth gnashing that thread caused.

It's nearly impossible to build a track that is impartial to all cars, much less vehicles as widely different as buggies and quads. If people get really serious about the competition and truly hang some rep on the results, different courses must be used for quads and buggies and even then you really can't compare results or standings. The GNC course still had some tight turns for some of the buggies and really favored the higher hp rails, which my car definitely isn't.
The best thing to do is for Funco to build 10 rails identical to Chad's and have an IROC style race. That's the only way to level the field and make it truly a driver event.
What a great idea!
