Racer, All your statements above are opinions instead of facts.

(Except for the WGT part, which your club could have continued running Foam if they liked it so much. I know that at the time rubber came t
to be I owned a track and made WGT kits through RSD, And the facts and numbers nationally point to this class being long dead before rubber tires. Your place was just an exception).

All I am saying is, it’s not the end of the world and no one is forcing a change. I believe that if the tires suck, no one will use them and problem over. No reason to be upset about it. However, if they work, the cost of racing 12th scale and ease of using tires will be drastically reduced. So in a way these are the 2 scenarios:

1.they suck, no one uses them, so you carry on with 12th scale the same way as always.
2.They are pretty good, costs are lower and easier to use.

Saying simply “I think this or that, therefore death to the rubber tire” Is overreacting. Give it a shot, or don’t. However, proverbially “taking your ball home because you don’t like the rules” is hardly ever the right answer. At the end of the day the reason why we all do this is because we love RC Car racing. Let’s not lose sight of that.

From experience I can tell you, due to the type of tire, the cars will not drive much different.
