The biggest issue we have is our taste for drama. We love to cultivate it and focus on that part of these big events. When there were great things that get forgotten. Cole Ogden coming from a full lap down and making the show. The effort made to even run when the track looked like it was a lost cause due to rain. The over 300 entries for a Nationals. Xray winning its first Nitro offroad ROAR title.
Seen a switch of narrative on these events in the 15+ years on RCtech. Use to be we just debated if it was the Chassis or the Driver that was the reason for results. Every race it was that debate. Now it is some track drama that we beat to death. Kinda miss the Chassis debates....lol

I'm a Lutz fan. He's an ambassador to the hobby. I also like Tebo. I can relate to both.
I was torn because of the transponder issue. I agree with how it was handled. However, if that transponder issue happened to a lesser known driver in the semifinals.... then that driver wouldn't have been extended the same courtesy.
Rules... which ones do you want to enforce today? Even "tech" rules aren't always clear or enforced consistently.

Hypocritical opinion is it not?
move) throwing is radio about...what gives?
From my view, TY was the defending champ and probably put his heart and soul into that race - losing - it happens - crying about it...not for me to say...I am not in his shoes...but that is a hard emotion to control...choosing to throw your radio around... that is different.
Shake my head...

I don't get it either...seems he (Bermy) has a beef with TY (evidenced in posts after the Neo Race)...he is a baby for crying at the Worlds...but is cool with Mayfield (in my opinion, in an even bigger "baby"
move) throwing is radio about...what gives?

No beef with TY think he's a great racer but I definitely think he gets some favoritism and people act like he does no wrong in a race. Do I think Maifield throwing the radio was silly of course I can fully understand that but for me crying for coming 3rd in a race that you was out of after 30 mins? I know lots of people that would be happy with 3rd there are many great racers out there that never will get a worlds win he has one already.
