Looks like a lot of drivers, in a hurry to get into an accident

Combination, of too much power for that skill level
Should be a 25.5 class

There should be a restart, called but nobody wants to take it easy on the first lap!

The problem is that there is no rookie class. They just get lumped into sportsman. When I first started, I didn't race my first one until I was going to tq for a few months. As for the stop and go, I do that. But everytime I get hit, no one stop and goes.

This is a fun hobby but I would burn all my rc stuff if I had to run 25.5.

Perhaps 21.5. The speeds of 17.5 far exceeds the speeds we were learning with when running 27t brushed a decade ago.

I am new to on road but not racing. I have been running the series for the past three races. I am a courteous driver. I get out of the way for a faster car in qualifying and if I bump someone in the main i wait. It was something i learned in off road when I first started.

A lot of guys will drive right through your rear end and keep on moving. the announcer should call a stop and go if he sees it but I know that seeing everything is impossible.

There is no Rookie class and that is unfortunate as that's where I wanted to start off in on road. I do not think speed is the factor its more of a drivers respect for one another that's the problem. Win or lose i have a smile on my face others dont.
After seeing the video, guys should be called out at the next race and warned in a drivers meeting. its the only way to help stop it.

Was that 8 F1 Foam cars that I counted ? Awesome,I hope to join in soon. The Mini race was a treat to watch. Finally, was that Joe Mac on the mic ? He's a blast to listen to as spectator and a racer.

Yes Carlitos, that was 8 and would have been more if we can get that Tom Kahl guy to man up and run a second class ! You will have fun if you come back out. Calvin has made a few F1 foam races and Quincy keeps saying he is going to run but has not made it past practice mode.
