If monster truckers and 1/8th buggy backyarders are finding their way to your track - that is potential NEW members for your club.
Run some classes to encourage these guys to come to race meetings. They soon will get hooked and get into the smaller 1/10 scale that suits the track better - or they will lose interest and not be back! Problem gone. Everyone wins!
Just got to get the track a little stronger...
There are a few problems with this suggestion also.
1. Insurance. We aren't insured for this type of vehicle and this will cost us more money each year.
2. Track condition. The track simply won't hold up to the punishment of the 1/8th scale cars and we can't afford to lay the surface required to withstand this punishment.
3. We don't want them at our track. Castle Hill are primarily an electric club, although we cater for a small 1/10th gas truck class, and don't really want to be racing 1/8th gas cars.
4. Sure anyone who has just spent sh&tloads on their 1/8th gas cars are just going to up and buy a whole load of 1/10th electric kit. More than a little optimistic don't you think...
