May make the day a little longer but who cares.

Here is what we have found. Those 2 or 3 people have fun racing. They get better and enjoy racing and start racing another class because of the money they saved getting started to begin with. Now they are having a lot more fun and invite their buddies and it starts all over.

Some stick with it and some leave but usually for unseen reasons

I just think ROAR needs to come up with some sort of low budget, beginner level class that somehow targets RTR cars. I think this would be a great idea.
i don't have a problem with having more classes, but the lhs has to keep a balance of the number of additional racers and how much more time it extends the race day. and therefore increase employee costs.
