But on the other hand no one should be forced to run any class they are not fully comfortable with. Its been said a thousand times that Mod right now with lipo batteries is too fast….so why make someone go out and have to race this out of control class? When really we should be looking to combine the mod and superstock class into one SUPER CLASS…..with say 10.5 motors for indoors and 6.5 motors outdoors. This way there will be better racing all across the board in the class. We wont have mod with a 1 man show and 8 other guys looking to hold on and not break their cars….and we will now have all the fresh talent moving up to race with old dogs and see how they stack up with manageable power. This seems more like a reasonable idea then moving all the fast stock guys out of superstock and into mod.
I think what you will see happen in the near future is the motors and/or batteries will become limited in some way to slow the cars down, and the guys with no set of ba!!$ will then move up.
