We will be at Trackside Hobbies for the Novak Race next weekend and will talking with Scotty Ernst the "Father of WGT" to get his opinions.......
just my 2 cents worth...................
So with Scotty Ernst being the "father of WGT" do you not think that he knows what he is doing? You know the guy that is paid to travel all over the world running major races both on and off-road, the guy that has major races at HIS track that has both on and off-road, and not only that but he is one damn good driver, you don't think he knows what does and doesn't work?
This isn't just directed at you Mark, but all those that know better and think they can re-invent the wheel.
The amazing thing is that you DON'T have to run that class if it doesn't suite you, there's what, 5 other classes in the NWIC alone that you all can run in!
The WGT class is becoming popular because 4 cell 13.5 works for this style of chassis, why else would Scotty Ernst use that formula at all of his BIG races?
And yes, I do know Scotty, have talked with him at 5 of his races.
