Today I was at the track, and a national level A main regular told me the new esc he got made the car "too fast" in 13.5. That should tell you something right there.

In a perfect world, there would be an old timer looking over the shoulder of every new/sportsman type racer with words of advice, but that's just not the case. We need to accept the reality that there is such a thing as too fast, and when there are other cars on the track, making your car slower can be just as bad as being out of control.

This national A main driver was running in a class in which Scotty Ernst refereed to as "the new mod". 13.5 with the new speedos is insanely fast.


Oh and 13.5 was the fastest class at the race.
