The price of many on road cars has helped to turn people away from on road racing. I think the T4's, Awesomatix, and TC7.1 are great cars but they are extremely expensive. If I wanted to get into carpet racing and accepted what you say and looked at the prices. I would say heck no. What you say may be true for drivers that always want to be the "A" Main winners, but I don't think it's true for everyone. The cost of the cars, electronics, tires a body and paint drive people away.
Many drivers don't like spec class racing. But, I think it would be attractive to some drivers. You could pick any less expensive car like the TC4 and a run and set the gear ration, list the battery limits, a spec tire, a cheap spec motor and esc and whatever body and have fun.
I think on road racing needs more exposure. If Windy City ran some off road and on road races the same day. You might get drivers who do both. You might get some off road guys to try their hand at on road. It works other places.

I hope all these drivers are coming to race at Windy City RC Raceway, as they can always use the support there I'm sure.
I'm a bit confused though on why there's a bunch of pics from a different track on another tracks dedicated page.
With all due respect, it seems like that would make it confusing or misrepresenting for anyone that might be hopping on the forum for the first time to get information on the WCRC's track.

I guess you don't want are trucks at your track?
It's a school club and we wanted to share some pictures of a new class
And we were going to bring them to your track. Just trying to promote
Different forms of racing. Do you want kids at your track or not?
We promote your track so now I am confused.

Hobbytown USA in St. Charles runs their parking lot series from May until September. They have a mixture of on road and off road classes and a class for young kids. They have 12 or more heats each race. I may be wrong about this, but I think Windy City could run on and off road at the same time, I am not sure how you would call the races or if it's a good idea. But, at least they can run the same race day. I think there is a chance you could get more people through the doors. Obviously, many racers race both on road and off road and might do that the same day. I've seen people who race off road get involved in on road after they see them run and vice versa. Please understand I am not tying to promote another track. It's just a suggestion.
