I would love some of the wet clay tracks they have down South, but we will take what we can get.

If someone changed the clay to turf......I would just adjust to turf.

What annoys me is the constant fluctuations in classes and class structure. When I invest a good amount of $ into a platform, parts, tires, springs, batteries, gears, etc. I get annoyed when suddenly that has to be moth balled because someone decides to "change direction".......
