Once again, You passed them because they couldn't drive, not because you were faster. A PROPERLY set up boosted car will be at least as fast in the infield, and FASTER on the straight than blinky, because a boosted car when properly set-up, has all the low-end punch of blinky, with the benefit of boost on the straight. Of course, if all you do is set your ESC up for the straight, you'll obviously lose out on the infield. It's all about balance.

Blinky has it's place. VTA, USGT, and other SPEC classes are very well suited to blinky. I just don't feel that blinky is best for every single class but MOD. In Mod they run boost and they are silly fast. Everyone is complaining that noone wants to move up to Mod, but why would they, when there's no class that offers the kind of training necessary to reach that level? If every class that's designed to feed into the Mod class, becomes a slower, technology limited class, how is anyone supposed to develop the skills required to move up? The jump from the current "Stock" classes to MOD is HUGE, and every time we slow things down or limit tech in the "Stock" classes we make the gap greater.
