I stand corrected.  Truly... orthopedic hose.

True Mitch.  The ban was only about price.  Since then things have changed significantly.

I bought my Thunderslot Lola for about $60 as a white kit.

In my opinion we should run classes that allow for low-cost entry as well as those that allow for the higher value offerings.  Otherwise we run the danger of warding off the newer members merely on the shock of the sticker price.

For example, you can run an out-of-the-box Slot.It class that allows for removing the magnet and adding a little weight and you can run a Slot.It class that has a lot less restrictions so that you basically rebuild the chassis to be something other than what came out of the box new.  One is easy for beginners to grasp the other not so much.  Yet from 5 feet away they still seem to use the same cars.

I'm all for allowing most any car to run and I'm also for tighter restrictions.  To me the best racing is when we all have similar setups and it comes down to driving skill.

And as always happens, in time the optimal setup becomes apparent and those with the interest will adopt it.  As an example, how many Baby Kings did we start to see after the narrow little Cobra sprang to life?

Doc, yes keep the ban?

I'm with you there.  It no longer seems unreasonable.

So Greg snuck in with a Thunderslot?

He was there?

That sounds like a good idea too.

Let's make a list of classes and vote.  But we should probably limit it to the 1:32 scale classes that at least have some chance of regulation.

We had 4 classes this year, correct?  Perhaps we keep 2 from this past season and add 2 new ones.

At least that's my idea.

Ya know, we probably had class champs and don't even know it.

How about the year I won by beating the Flying one by a single point?  Can't get much closer.

Had to outscore him by 6 points in the final race and did it with some help from the ladies that night.  But I digress.

Congrats to all, it was a fun series.
