Yes, the goal of this thread is to share ideas and information in a constructive manner. The goal is NOT to force anyone to race in Breakout class; it's just another option.

However, there are occasions when it might be the only option, such as when there aren't enough drivers present to run a particular class. In this case, they can still race in Breakout rather than head home early. There are some tracks that have excellent turnouts, where this may never be a problem. Others can use a Breakout class to help with the situation.

Surprisingly, having a Breakout class may also increase participation in the regular racing classes. Drivers are more likely to show up at the track when they are unsure if there will be enough other cars to make a class, knowing they can always run their car in the Breakout class as a backup plan. (And sometimes they may rescue an old car out of their closet and bring it along to run Breakout in any case!)
