Default How many 1/5 scale racers are there in the USA?

I'm starting this thread to try to find out how many 1/5 scale racers are out there in the USA.

I'm also interested in how many International racers are interested in racing in the USA.

I'm currently not running my car since there's currently nowhere in the US to get Technokit parts....
