Bingo. Spot on
Nick. Therein lies the rub on keeping a track successful and operating. How to build a track that is acceptable to a variety of not only classes, but now a variety of scales as well.
Begs the question regarding tracks surviving. Build the track to the car? Or build the car to the track? Conundrum for any budding track builder.
After following this thread am beginning to think we as racers and RC'ers may have to accept what we have and deal with it. A smattering of regional tracks feeding an even smaller number of national level tracks. Local tracks more or less a non-entity with the exception of a few pockets of activity. Perhaps that's what RC is meant to be. Bash locally with intermittent travel to race?
