Because nobody wants to run it

It is funny, I looked at pre-registration for the HC and it's kinda evened out.
In previous years it was mainly 17.5 with 1 or 1 1/2 heats of 13.5 and 1 heat of mod if we were lucky.

17.5 - 32
13.5 - 21
6.5 - 18

We have to do what's necessary to keep people interested in the hobby. We are group of guys who aren't getting any younger and putting something new out there sometimes draws interest and gets people's juices flowing again.

The problem with that is we don't drop classes and end up with 20 choices...lol... I could see things fall into 2 classes for 1/12 and TC.

17.5 for stock and some type of "Mod" class. What will work best, I don't know... lol... But when it's all figured out let me know
