As everything-batteries, escs, setups, get better, the cars get faster and we lose some of that competition. Yeah, the fast guys go to the front, but more guys can be fast when the cars are slower. I know that when we first started doing this, guys who I didn't expect to have to race hard could show me what's up--because they could handle the car.
I agree with that. I guess that is kind of the point Im getting at. If VTA wants to get back to that point the rules would need to change drastically to remove the speed.
