IF we can get Alex to join us, I bet Tim would let us run a Mod 12th class....

No D3.5? But BJ said.... 
Well, nevermind...
It does seem a bit senseless to buy another 13.5 when most of us have perfectly good paperweights. No worries tho, I guess we can just toss them in a box with all the other paperweights known as brushed motors.

I can also provide a scale if you don't have one. And there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that this scale detects my personal transponder number and adjusts the weight reading accordingly.

Can you expand upon that in here? Genuinely curious as to why the 13.5t was banned along with the 17.5t.

17.5 1/12 scale would turn faster lap times than the second fastest class that I race (USGT), so it's not that slow. They're faster than 17.5 TC, too. (Only one driver in the 17.5 TC class A main at the 2013 IIC turned a lap faster than the slowest driver in the 17.5 1/12 A main.)
Throttle? I thought we were just supposed to wire our cars so they went full-bore any time the power switch was on.

I like to do EVERYTHING slow.

If you are too far inside the "traction circle" the dynamics are wrong and it takes too much away from the driving experience.
I've always felt that a class that is totally hooked up and extremely power limited becomes too much of a dyno test. We don't need another class where the position of a label on a motor can give you a couple car lengths on a straight......
Then we would need a serious tech process too. I would LOVE to see an inductance meter show up, if anything else to know what we are up against next time we have a big show in town.
