I looked into it a few years ago, but never wound up going to an event. The class has whats called a ".100 breakout"... As I gather, you run time trials, then you have no choice but to "dial" .1 quicker than your fastest time trial for the remainder of the event. Would not seem to be a problem to figure out exactly how to run the TT to have the dial be pretty close.. Anyone who knows better, please correct me if Im wrong, I dont contend to know for sure....

From what I've been told, the racers are treated like royalty at these races.

Kp
I ran Open Comp last year at the NMRA World Finals with my T-Bird Stocker.

Most racers add 100 lbs. during qualifying to slow their machine down .1 sec.
Not a fan of the pro tree used in OC.
It's basically a catch all class for those that do not fit any other classes ( other than brackets)
