More info/details for the March 4-5 race coming soon!

I don't think we can fit another class in the schedule. Maybe for the March 4-5 race since it'll be a 2 day event.

just an observation...and this is all over the country.

There are too many "types" of racing within each class of racing...(ie: Stock, 19T and Modified for both 1/12th and sedans)

When you think about it, too many "types" of racing within a class only dilutes the level of competition.

I bet if you offer a competely different class of racing, one which is taken a lot less seriously and geared towards the spirit of grassroots racing, a lot of guys will sign-up for this type of racing...and will attract newbees.

just an observation. See everyone in 19T and indoor Heli....
