gordon, first, please take my views as an ld member looking back, trying to offer insight, i am NOT bashing, or trying to change you views.

first, i dont see this happening, i am not up on brushless, but i know, that a majority of the racers dont have them.

now, that said, i race at the den in monroe, and trackside, (i cannot nor should this be construed as speaking for scott) i do know that if you showed up with that system you WOULD be allowed to race, you would be encouraged to comly with teh rules, next time, but again, i do not see you being turned away, (nor do i think you should. that is consistent with the way i race directed when i was involved with marcca.

that said, if you have rules, and make them available to the local hobby shops then when a new hobbieist comes in and says i want to race, they can lead them down the correct path to getting what they need to race, examples stock or mod motors, foam or rubber tires, 4 or 6 cells, you know the basics, now, that being said,there is NO reason to NOT (sorry double negitive) have a brushless class. i think the problem you have is you have say 10 racers and 7 ideas od what ppl want. there is the problem. so the club needs to build consensus. and decide on a class, or classes

here is my SUGJESTIONS. i am not liable to what ppl think of this.

1 12th scale stock 4 cell, same as the world
2 brushless 12th scale, a new class

now, i know you have some who want mod, or 19t. i understand. but to grow the calss, and the club for that matter, keep it simple. if ppl want to run that, fine, but get the base classes growing first, run you mod, or 19t in practice, and race stock.

if there is only one brushless one week, let him, or her run in reg stock, nw if the one person shows up consistently, with no other brushless(or brshed, it could go either way) you have to say, next week you need a brushed system, or we need to turn you aaway, this keep the integrity of the club, and protects the racers,
