I don't know what happend yet but blowing 2 motors in 1 day is a new thing for me. These 2 motors have been running strong and tq/winning for the last month.

And before anybody says it..
Yes, I do take into account everybody’s opinion, and yes, the people that show up all the time, set up the track, take it back down, organize the races, spend time during the winter fixing up and cleaning the bus, and generally support and promote the track with a positive attitude do carry more weight, but all opinions are heard.
I do not make decisions on my own, next time we talk about the length of the races I will make sure I bring up all the opinions I have heard, both the 5 minutes and going back to the 7 minutes.

5min,6min,whatever
time for roar and everyone else to get with the program,with the batteries we have today,and i for one don't buy or have the best batteries,we should be running at least 6min heats, last sunday we changed all to six minutes,except mod will remain 5min. nobody dumped. really don't think 5 or 6 min run time is an issue for signup, lets be honest about the bottom line here, seems there's a group of people who don't really want to race with other people, they want their car to be on the track at the same time as other's, BUTTTT, want their car to be sooooo farrrrr in front so as not to have competitors, what's the point? seems like more fun, fun thats the key word. to actually race with other people, maybe all be on the same lap. longer run times start to even out the playing field, ohhh! there's that other word "playing", not to date myself but remember 1200 cells,not making 4min runtime,you'd think we're still running jerobee lighting 2000 cars, geeez look at the equipment we have today, look at how technologicaly advanced our toys have become, they are not toys anymore, soooo! there's something wrong if we can't make 6 min runtime and still have juice leftover, let's remember what duece bigelow said, "it goes soft at the end of 7min, not after just 6min"

is there going to be any love for the pan car guys? ie 12th mod or Pro 10? lol if not i will run my Xray FT. I think stock kicks @$$ by the way. Its a good measure of how well you can tune your car and drive. Mod you can just pick a diffrent wind to be faster, specially when they dont limit you to 10 turn.

When I raced at Fantasy world a while ago the 7min heats weren't bad. I thought they were pretty fun. I'm a fan of 1/12 scale racing and race in the winter pretty often along with ym sedan, and we run for 8min. It adds a different element into the picture, you must conserve, and carry maximum corner speed to get quick/consistant lap times. I still think it's good mod is still at the standard 5min though.

hmmm where did i see them making the race time longer... what class was that, oh yeah... brushless! point is batteries my have all the run time, the motors are still designed to go 5mins, thats it.
oh well you guys can have fun running your long races at the summer swizzler, i will be in florida having more fun running 5min races, like they should be...
and anybody that still wants to argue that this all stemed from the fact that nitro cars get more track time, heres a tip, if you are so upset about it, get a nitro car and shutup sally.
GIT R DONE!
