Sweet racing: When the lights go dim the battery voltage is .9, the discharger will continue to discharge to zero volts (lights out) if you do not remove the batteries. And don't be so damned impatient, you gave everybody all of 8 minutes to respond. Thats why new racers get ignored. Too pushy. Want everything handed to them.

Hobby shops and Tracks don't promote and advertise beyond existing racers that already know about the hobby, how can the hobby grow? Promotion for novice racers should be priority #1 and should be advertised to within the local area within 20 miles of the track. If every single resident within a 20 mile radius dosen't know about the hobby, track, racing, a budget beginner class, then you still have advertising to do.

There shouldn't be a nationals for the stock class (that just attracts sponsored drivers), besides, the cost of travelling across the country for the nationals kinda goes against the purpose of the class. There shouldn't be a 19 turn class (its seperates the classes too much).

Novice should only be allowed sealed endbell stock motors.

Stock motors should have ball bearings and 12 degrees timing (just as fast, much less maintaince.

Stock class should use a spec tire.

Cars should have numbers, why did it become acceptable for race cars not to have numbers on them because of transponders? Being an announcer, I could announce a more exciting race if I could identify who's car is out there.
