Im new to onroad racing..........raced nitro bugggy for a few years, am really impressed with how this event is being handled.
I like -ability to see timed practice laps
-the live internet coverage of the racing and practice
-not adding races because of pitting room and keeping to their schedules
-late night practice
Are most onroad events doing all this?
Does the outfit that puts this race on have any other big races this year?

Like Mario said, a bunch of us work together to make 5280 the nicest place possible. We have a lot of folks who donate their skills to the club year-round, not to mention a lot of awesome dedicated members who show up several times a week to practice and race. It's a fantastic group of people.
Most of the things you mentioned, especially the online stuff are all custom. A lot of tracks are on LiveRC, which does a nice job, we just took it a step further and added some additional features. More than anything, we wanted our online stuff to be very mobile friendly since most people are looking at it on their phones while at the track. And for a place like ours, where we practice a lot to prep for big races, having detailed information on our practice laps has been a game changer.

http://5280raceway.com/practice -- detailed practice laps
http://5280raceway.com/live -- live video, scoring, practice, results, etc.
We'll be handing out this information to all racers when they arrive.

My guess: Faster with the WGT and slower with the 1/12 scale.:

You guys, your facility and the effort you put towards putting this event on and making everyone feel welcome is second to none. It saddens me that myself and as many guys as I could drag with me, cant make it this year, but I'll be watching as much as possible.
Just throwing this out there, but if IIC doesn't go, you guys should consider doing a race around that time frame.
Good luck to everyone.
Mario hope to crack some beers with you again.
