If those races can support a healthy boost class I guarantee those orginizers will be more than willing to fit it in. After all, an entry is an entry and we all want more of those.
oh look, more common sense.

All the big races are going "blinky", even the non roar races.

With ROAR, Reedy and IIC going all blinky, Snowbirds will likely do the same.

A boosted 17.5 sedan class with spec foams would probably get 20+ entries at a big race, don't you think?

If my local club decides to go down the blinky road, I'll have to consider racing elsewhere, or change what class I race.

Luckily it wont be until at least winter as we are in a club championship atm....

The latest Indoor Champs offered boosted classes, where were all the racers? Those races aren't free to run. They will go with a class structure that people want and will help them break even or perhaps make a few bucks. If all the people that are adamant that boost is better made the committment to show up at big races they would probably have a class.

This is the attitude that I've adopted. It isn't going to change anytime soon, so I just continue to race....

I thought the same thing the first time I saw a buggy converted to a stadium truck - there goes the Blackfoot class.

Adapt and move on, as long as you're having fun.



(And boost is, was, and shall forever be silly - just buy a faster motor already and be done with it.)
