After 3 or so years of running tourer ( MTX 3 ).I decided to go 1/8 on road and yeah the number at our local club have been slowing up a bit. But It's the same in the touring cars as well. The cost well there is not that much difference. The way touring car motors and chassis prices are going. 1/8 scale is way more fun. That's just my 2 cents worth.
