BX, i have to agree with you on this. longer races means more wheeltime and that means more enjoyment, starting from club level. in South Africa, there has been a move, albeit small, in the Johnson 540 class. we now run 6 minute quali's and finals. it's a small start, but it got the ball rolling. like the guys in 12th scale are having a blast. they have 8min races which are awesome.

well, i will be running a 3hour enduro at one of the clubs this weekend. so plenty of wheeltime there
