Just come and run whatever you want. I'm sure we all have different reasons why we race. Most of all just have fun that's all that matters.

On the 14th I will change. But depends who else is racing stock. Not sure I will move to 19T in 12th scale yet.

Steve - You had it right the first time. You are fairly new to racing but you practice a lot and keep getting better. You kept getting faster every time I saw you race last summer. You should keep running stock until you are comfortable with driving and setup to run with the top 10-15 guys in stock at big races. 19T is a great class to have fun and challenge yourself even more. I'm sure running a bunch of classes can get hectic (and expensive) between you and your son. Over the years I've seen a lot of new racers run modified, try to drive over their head, get frustrated and quit racing. That's why there are 3 classes to choose from - run the one with the drivers that best match your skill level and if time permits, try out another class to challenge yourself more.
