I'd say the NEGS rules are a great place to start. Spec tires for stock, keep the heavily sponsored 'pros' out of stock classes and run 10.5 instead of full blown mod (which few seem to want to run anyway). This way everyone knows what the classes and rules are for every major race of the entire indoor season. (well, except the nats, ROAR has their own odd ideas 
)
)But, 10.5 in mod isn't the way to go. The speeds aren't what's keeping new people out of mod (my opinion). What's keeping people out of mod is the fact that some are putting so much prestige on winning stock. I remember a time when winning a big stock race simply ment you were ready to start running mod. Stock ment nothing and mod ment everything.

Funny..... the old site is still up and running. Take a look at the names of the top ten in each class from what I assume is the last entry in the 2001 - 2002 series. Amazing!

Although I'm not a huge fan of Losi, you gotta give it too them, they do make cars that can be competitive, that people use for more then a 1 year life span. I'm using a XXX-S a friend gave me, and I'll admit, coming from a Xray, its a pretty good car.

I was wondering if 12 scale stock is slower now than they were when you guys were running brushed motors? I just got done watching the 12 stock a main and they just dont look as fast and they were before or is it because I watched the mod a main first.

but 1/12th racing has been booming for us since the change to 1s. everybody is having fun. less carnage, more racing.
there needs to be three basic divisions in all the forms of our racing:
- a novice class, for the new racer.
- stock or limited class as a place to garner skills
- mod so we can see the limits pushed
keeping it simple makes rules easier to write and follow, more people will enjoy racing, we all benefit.

1S SLOW who said that
At the second round of the Uk 1/12th scale nationals.Certainely stock 10.5 a 1S lipo didnt figure in the top 40.
But in open mod a LIPO car won Olly Jefferies. driving an Associated R5 Some big names in the 1/12th world in A main.
Andy Griffiths, Andy Moore so this was no fluke win
