I don't get it. ARC is such a great track, great people and I always had fun when I raced there, but I just don't understand why we can't we get a consistent turn out for SC racing?
Any ideas / suggestions
That is a great question and one that we talk about all the time. Turnouts are getting smaller and smaller not just at ARC...but at most 1/8 scale tracks. I think that short course racing is the best way to build your attendance for all classes. How else can someone get into R/C racing for as little as $200?? I think Short Course is a great class all by itself but I am sure that some of those new racers would want to step up to the 1/8 also. I would like to get one just to race as another class along with my 1/8 scale car. I think that nobody comes out to race them at ARC because they aren't promoted at all....HINT HINT.....ARC....HINT.....PROMOTE A SHORT COURSE RACE AND MORE PEOPLE WILL SHOW UP.
