A question to those who are following this thread: How many of you started in 1/8th? Most racers, I know, started in different scales and grew into 1/8th.

What I see now, unlike earlier periods, less alternate racing forms. I started in 1/10th off-road electric. Huge: One National had 650 entries.

My point - I think we are missing a major issue: "other" scales/classes to draw in drivers. The Hobbytown races look like they may attract racers. I, personally, feel for the growth of our hobby, we should focus on the avenues that will spawn future RC racers - period - gas/electric - whatever.
Rick Wilson (this may not be the place to discuss this and I understand): In the ROAR membership - what class is showing growth?
