Ideally you would have an ETS style series in the U.S, Europe, and Asia which would culminate in some type of World final comprised of the top racers from each region (sort of how the IFMAR Worlds should be).
Scotty has started the AOC although the travel distances between venues are very big so I don't think you can have active participation from the same drivers throughout the series. This is likely a problem for North America as well. Europe is about the right size for short flights from everywhere and two time zones.
The ETS is very prestigious and should be used as a template for series around the World. There is no reason why each U.S. ROAR region can't have its own ETS style series.
It is a bit like any other sport where the top level gets the premier coverage.

Big market here too, though perhaps not as important to some teams ?
The stock class is cool, you can really see how close they are when motor of the week is removed from the game
Shaft, Belt identical times

We have the WCICS series in Westen Canada. It is a big series across 3 provinces, lots of entries and running for a very long time.

Also, people constantly want to point to ETS control motor as a good thing, but not everybody that races in the series feels that way. Read on: http://www.rctech.net/forum/12276996-post39.html.

New ESC and motor from MuchMore for next season was presented during the weekend for stock. If you try to take this ESC apart it will be destroyed .. Motor is a FLETA 13.5T if I saw correctly.

The Stock racer, the F1 racer and if it is still there the TT01 racer wants to see himself in those reports so he has the feeling that he is as much as important to make the event as it is today.
That is the way to promote the sport! Give those drivers the same feeling so others will follow. Do not let them think they are just a filling of the event.

No doubt, you're right and I agree. And RedRC actually gives Pro Stock more coverage than probably any other event.
When I watch those videos, I feel like the cars are very similar on the straight, but the shaft cars seem to leap out of the corners harder and carry more speed in the sweeper on/off. I bet it would be even more noticeable when there's higher forward grip.

Though laptimes, and results don't show any distinct advantage
Could just be driving style is what you are noting
imo
Stock should be more about maintaining corner speed, rather than cut and thrust as in mod, which is where any increase in forward grip would be more advantageous

Before you don't notice it that much because there are a lot of drivers so there is always someone that has similar laptimes even when using "normal" motors. But it can bump you from the H to the G or C to B for example.
