This is exactly the point, if any of us wanted 1/8th scale to run at our tracks, we'd have built a track to suit in the first place.

Basically we are in the same situation here in Adelaide.

We are
1:not insured for them
2:not zoned for IC (gas) noise
3:dont have the money to build at track that will withstand the abuse these cars give out.

We get complaints sent to the local council about them when they decide to go and destroy our track. None of them want to help repair the dry when they have finished destroying it.

Brusharc do u see why NONE of us want 1/8th scale at our tracks!! and yes we have asked them to help fix up the track. about 5 or 6 of them saw us working on the track, while it was raining. Unpacked all their gear and as soon as i said, no ur not going on here today in the rain, but u can help us fix the track, they were off like a shot!!!

I'll come and right now and say, i do not like 1/8th scale, i never will like 1/8th scale. All i have seen from 1/8th scale owners is a complete lack of respect for other ppl hardwork and the club's hard earned savings. These guys have even rocked up at meetings, waited until we have all left and then gone nuts, even after being told they are NOT allowed to run there. I know i live within view of our track!


Sorry guys.
