19 turn as laid-out by the All Star rules; yes.

I cannot wait to get another 1/12th scaler for this winter.

19 turn 1/12. Sounds fun, hope I can keep up.

Is anyone going to run 1/10 foam?

Do you guys have an offroad track you race on during the summer? I had an absolute blast running down there for the MWTCS and want to go back.

Neil, i think 19 in a quality alternative to mod, without the run time issues.....

I'd prefer 19 turn for a couple reasons. One, I haven't run anything but stock onroad, so a smaller jump may be an easier transition. Two, it can get us ready for the All-Star series by Hurricane. Three, I hope we all can be on the same page with motor rules. One of the reasons I like racing at the den is the on-road classes are pretty set. There is a sportsman, rubber 1/10 sedan, foam 1/10 sedan and 1/12. If we start breaking each of the classes up into stock/19 turn/mod, we'll lose the number of racers per class, which means a loss in the "luster" of racing at the den. IMO

I agree also, if at the starting of the season everyone is on the same page its all good.

last season pissed me off with some key marcca guys saying "STOCK IS THE THING THIS YEAR!" only to see at the first race they all wanted to run mod...

19T should be fun. I am probably going to run some older packs for much of the season just because I am going to try and hold back on too much R/C costs this winter (since I already have the car, motor, radio/electronics, etc... )

Starting to save for a house, and some other toys.
