Also is it fair that the A-main guys get to marshall a 5 minute race while someone else has to marshall their 60 minute race? Personally I don't mind marshalling but I hear guys complain about it all the time.
I agree, When you have a bad day, the last thing you want to do is stand on a hot dusty track and marshal. I did because it was the rule, but others complained to the point of nearly being asked to leave at our track. A rule had to be imposed, that if you didn't marshal or have someone in your place, you lost a qualifier, second time, full DQ.

I still like the 10 to 15 minute mains, If 10 make it three, Like the 1/10 electric. If 15, make it one and for all, not just the A-main racers. I agree, imposing a weight on batteries will limit too much, I also think getting caught up in the C wars is a bad thing as well. There needs to be an independent service to test and certify the packs, to stop the inflated claims of some companies
