Stumpy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 y don't they race comanches i think we have most of them, so they can't get one...lol :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Because we'd clean up. Pure and simple. Comanches actually have a racing history, unlike the XJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84scrambler Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 we should hound them to let us, or just go and kick butt. but realy i would love for them to open it up to comanches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj_lover Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 from what i understand, they don't let us play because we have alonger wheelbase, which does stuff to help us whip the xj back into its rightfull place, just slighly behind the mj, and all mj class would be sweet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty Hunter Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 There's a guy here locally that races an MJ on the gravel road speed races they hold annually in the Mark Twain NF. I think they like the heavier chassis of the MJ over the XJ. I'll see if I can find the pics. Found a few: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaterjeep Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I'm pretty sure it's been said in here before but back in the day the Archer brothers raced Comanches in the trans am series? or was it scca? I don't remember what series for sure but they raced em, and from what I can remember, they did dominate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 i was thinking about that too, i bet it is the longer wheelbase like someone mentioned. id imagine we could get them to have a sort of jeeps only open class, but then we'd be subject to XJs and ZJs and such, but we all know who'd win ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DansGreyMj Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 i emailed jeepspeed and this is what they said "We are currently working on a class that might include these vehicles. Stay tuned to JeepSpeed.com for information. Michelle Nelson Operations Manager JeepSpeed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 It was SCCA and the 2.5L powered MJs frequently came in 1st and 2nd. :D I'm pretty sure it's been said in here before but back in the day the Archer brothers raced Comanches in the trans am series? or was it scca? I don't remember what series for sure but they raced em, and from what I can remember, they did dominate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdriver1 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 ok guys here's your answer ---- I checked with my son who works for T & J performance in Orange Ca. (they build em there) --- he stated that the current requirement for "multiple passenger style vehicles" is the reason. he stated that Jeepspeed is considering a change and letting the trucks (mj & J's) into jeepspeed3 (unlimited). 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
