I hope you don't feel offended. Those are not my comments, but actual comments that pop up whenever the club is contemplating introducing a mini class. Suffice to say they did in the end introduce a mini class at our club.

And I think you're wrong about pushing. Or perhaps you're right, but in context I think you're wrong. TC cars have reached speeds beyond the power of tires to hold them on, so yes, they need to slow down to go around corners. Or you could put it the other way around, minis are too slow to reach speeds where they push. Either way, depending on track I think you can see a lot of oversteer (in TC). And just from experience, I had more problems with oversteering than pushing on our track.

Back to mini racing, I think you need to choose your track wisely. A large, sweeping track (think 1/8 nitro type track) is not going to be very entertaining to run minis on. I have seen such races. At least not minis with silvercans. Our small indoor track is fun to run minis on, but a bit too crowded given the wandering habits of minis. And don't think it's because the competitors are novices. Some are top TC racers. They know how to tune and drive a car really quickly. But such is the nature of the mini beast. You can tune it, you can dial the slop out, and you can drive it in a straight line. But it's still slow to react and contact sends waves of chaos through the platoon. Again, take this only as a particular experience with constraints or under conditions perhaps non existent elsewhere.

And lastly, in Australia, we don't have the numbers to have dedicated tracks for everything. One track has to do for pretty much everything on road from mini and F1 to TC mod and nitro. Likewise off road tracks.
