I`ve had a bit of discussion with some of the local Guns, and it`s come to my attention that the Queensland Mod Title has not moved south of the border. 
Just wondering how many will venture north to TRY to take the TITLE away form us......... 
Cookie has said he`ll come north to try......anyone else......

Obviously the decision was thought through. Consultation with the clubs and a deal of debate over several months. The batteries won't be affected any more by a minute extra in the car than they are by the extra time on the discharger. Extra tyre wear is minimal for the extra period of enjoyment. I have never actually seen a "smoking hot" stock motor but believe that the motors get up to temperature during the first 2 or 3 minutes of the run anyway. Obviously if this decision is not a good one in practice it can be revisited but we are confident racers will ebjoy it. FYI we regularly run 8 minute races for 540 around Brisbane already.
Prior to your post the main negative feedback we've had was from mod drivers wanting to know why their times couldn't be increased as well.

I'm just wondering why the decision to run the 19t class was taken? It's a state title, do we really need to be running a demonstration class? As, unless someone runs a second car, won't it be taking people away from the proper classes??
