We kind of let newer people run what they brung for a little while so they can slowly invest there money into getting what they need to conform to the rules.. Hobby town tends to sell people all kinds of crap and then whomever bought it doesn't have the money to buy the right stuff and we let them slide for a while.
No offence but 9 times out of 10 people cant handle the higher power stuff as well as people with the lower powerd motors. We tend to build our tracks with the infield being technical enough that having too much motor can slow you down as much as not having enough.
I'm Adam by the way and 9 times out of 10 I'm the lackey behind the counter
