Now whens the last time you saw a true 8th track that dident have big air, i mean thats half the reason outside is fun, but half the problem is that the 10th guys are the.bigger.majority in stl, but that doesnt mean the 8th guys cant get a.track that we enjoy

Im not necessarily trying to compare to anything in perticular Nate, Im just saying a fresh/new layout with ideas incorporated that we have never had would be nice, thats all......I will be there to support the track regardless of what it is.

dont have a dog in the fight as I wont be running there any way. But perhaps make it so you could change a lane or two to avoid the big jumps for the 1/10 cars. That way you could have both with a simple tube change between rounds.

Big air for 1/8 doesn't have to mean bad for 1/10. We can have a quad, where the 1/8 can quad it and the 1/10 can double double it. We can also have triples where the 1/8 can triple it and the 1/10 can single double it. I don't see why we can't have both an awsome 1/8 and a nice 1/10 track all in one layout.

Big air doesn't have to mean height either, a lot of these tracks have big air that is loooooong air, where the landings are nice. 8' high 30' long air might be nicer on the car than a 15' high 20' long air.
