This isn't in the official rules right? I mean we are only talking about an event that a track wants to have right?

No, its not an official rule. All this BS was started by one driver, that seems to want the racing format adjusted to suit his taste.

I guess you would be referring to me. We are just doing it for one race The Tuning Haus race at The Gate. We did it at a couple of club races just to see how it would work. Sorry to get you all worked up over nothing. Sometimes you have to try new things.

You are not affecting the national rules and those who think the idea is terrible should simply not sign up. Those who do sign up will be open to the idea and I am sure the event will go over well.

I say it's one race. Don't flinch. Just do it like you planned. If it doesn't work out well then you can change it next time.

We've hosted a couple USGT enduro races at our track and included a pit lane for battery changes. It was an absolute blast and the only change we made from the standard USGT rules was that you had to run a 4.5 FDR.

I was admiring that shell, then did a double take when I noticed the transmitter. Looks almost identical to my M12 wrapped with black handlebar tape.

lol yeah similar to handle bar tape but these are the Yonex grip. It's humid in my area and it's a life saver for sweaty palms.

Just because someone comes up with a idea that YOU don't agree with its BS??? REALLY? The good news is that if the format is something that a racer doesn't like, THEY DONT HAVE TO GO TO THE RACE! But if you would like to try something different come out to The Gate next weekend. It's going to be a fun weekend.

Proof that a one color paint job can still look nice if it's done right.

I use tennis racket tape on mine. It's pretty good defense against the swampy palm.

Me too. I would love to be up that way for. Considering buying an elio just so I can make it to these races that are halfway across the country.
