The 8 and 9 turn motors would be the Modified class that Six was talking about. Check to see if they have a "Stock" class at tinley, which is 27t motors. It will be a much better starting block for anyone first getting into racing, because it is slower, and gives you a chance to get accustomed to racing. Also, with the Stock class, the cars would be a little more even, it would come down to the Driver as to who wins. Starting into racing, running a LOW turn motor, can get VERY frustrating, very fast. The car will be too fast for a beginner racer, and actually much harder to control. Also, the lower turn motors, will need more maintenance. Look into investing in a decent com Lathe, and keep backup brushes handy at all times.
