I would like to make a comment and flame away.
Doesn't it hurt the RC sport when you have guys running Mod and doing quite well by the way yet they also run 17.5 blinky? Why would an amateur weekend warrior want to come to an event to run against guys that are competing at a very high level in mod yet also they get to run in 17.5 and you would have to compete with them. Makes zero sense.

There were very few "weekend" warriors at a major regional race. Plus there were many national levels drivers there. If anything it makes people want to become better racers. Look what they can achieve you can as well!

Got it. So if I only run TC i can't go to a big Regional race until I am good enough to not be in the way or a speed bump for a top level mod driver that is also running in 17.5 blinky. I shall continue to practice and race my local club races once a week until I am able. I will strive to eventually be able to travel to one of these some day. End sarcasm font.
Doesn't seem all that great for the sport. Would think those folks shouldn't be aloud to run in those classes to just clean up. 1,000 props to Herbert for not doing this. I am sure he could win every one of those classes with that logic.

The way I see it is there were some very fast Stock Drivers dabbling in Mod, not the other way round.

I have no problem if someone wants to race both. After the first re-sort I'm matched up with people my own speed within each class anyways. Even better is the way Scotty does it at IIC where the practice times seed the initial qualifiers so even the first qualifier everyone is pretty matched up.

As Mr Stewart pointed out, it was some fast stock guys running mod. As a chance for them to get to run with the likes of Herbert, Cyrul, and Hardman. And trying our best not to get in there way. Thats how we get faster, how we become better drivers and evolve in the sport. Did Klingforth, Woods and Hanulec show up as a "elite mod driver" that wanted to "pick on the stock guys". No, they didnt. They are super fast stock guys that want to better their skills, and running a 5 turn indoors will do that. The fact all had some decent success doesnt mean they are too good to all of a sudden run stock. I would think any stock driver that is serious about getting better would want to race the current stock ROAR national champion and IIC winner. Not flame him and want to disclude him so they can finish one spot higher.
