So you dont think the Speedo Advancements to come wont make 21.5 faster as well?

Then what?

The drop in participation of electric onroad has been troubling to me as well. Every effort we make to slow the pace, while requested to provide a solution, is immediately lambasted. For example, we made a change to drop FOAM tires and go with a harder rubber compound which would only provide so much grip. Then it didnt matter how much power, boost, cheater modes you applied at the speedo/motor, you only had so much grip. And we were flammed.

Ive been around it since 1987. And its not just an issue we are battling in the US. Every Race Sanctioning Organization is looking for solutions to enable innovation in technology, keep the racing exciting, make the vehicles less intimidating for new racers (everyone thinks they should win a major event by just walking into a hobby shop and buying a car), and at a pace that keeps them involved.

Frankly, Im ready to just move the national events to open motor and stop all the division of vehicles by motor.
