Bishop I wouldn't mind at all if nsw decided 10.5t no boost was stock. I have a novak ss 10.5 stock spec havok setup in my basher/drifter car and I think its MORE FUN to drive then the boosted 17.5 I have to run for the two local clubs I race stock at. And its easily the same speed.
It'd be awesome to turn up to a track, fiddle with the fdr a bit and spend the rest of the time tweaking car setup and, you know, driving the bloody thing. Instead we have 6 different ways of achieving the same thing but all with their own side effects!
And whats the go with 27t brushed = 17.5 boosted? Last time I saw that on a track the 27s were almost as quick through the infield, but the second the straight comes into play and the boost kicks in the boosted cars will pull major distance on the 27s...
Anyway, rant over.
