13.5 open ESC for SS. Bring back boosted. This should be the class racers aspire to be in nationally. It is still faster than Mod was 5 years ago.

Considering the IIC was the first race to go full blinky for the Superstock classes, I think it would be very strange for them to revert a year later.

It was too bad they threw the baby out with the bathwater, but I know what you mean.

Unfortunately I seem to be in the minority here and agree with the above statement.

The problem with Rick's statement is the difference between a 13.5 and a 3.5. If you have someone running mod with a 13.5 and someone with a 3.5 the straight away speed may ruin two cars at the end of the straight.

We started running 17.5/10.5 boosted/mod. The difference between 10.5 and mod is great enough where you have to slam on the brakes at the end of straightaway in practice.

But back to SS motor. I can picture them going to 10.5 or 13.5 blinky.

As for 12th scale I wouldn't hold my breath on that being boosted 13.5
