Easier than an increased entry fee.  These cars ain't free.

And yes, we now have RamJet's.  No need to use those plunger-style controllers.  Unless of course that is your preference.

If I find time, we may even have anti-collision.  Actually thinking about it, I SHOULD find the time.

Know your enemy. 

Hahahaha, thanks for a great day, we had a wonderful time.

I have a variety of colors here if you want options. 

Big thanks to Bill for another Thursday night of fun runs.  I guess I have to actually work on my cars...

Sounds like a great time, we'll hope to be there.

It is the Classic Asp.  The body is from www.truescaleproducts.com.  Have not seen a Viper body.

As for the Vette, however it works easiest is good with me.

Thanks Bill.  Another great day at the Pen.  It was a wonderfully sunny first of March so we opened the door for most of the day.

Eighteen racers in attendance and Vic even gave me a thrashing.  Oh well, so it goes.  Here's some results:

We thank you all!  The food was wonderful, the friendship great.

I'd be interested but I'll have to find one first.

Another car, oh good.  Another car!

And one other item to consider for fairness...  The track owner wins most of the time.  ALWAYS!

Find a solution that makes it equally fair for the racer that doesn't own a track and host races.  Otherwise why should I even want to race in a system that clearly rewards those that are track owners that host?

In my opinion, a reduced number of counting events with more opportunities to improve the count gives more people a better chance to get to the final and win the championship, but that's just me.

And there is one more option I have considered bringing up.

Don't let the host(s) race. 

And I'm fine with that rule.  It's fair.  And it would simplify a lot of things.

Chris, "so-called"?  We'll both smack you.  ;-0

So why not an HO track I hear you ask? 

Because HO is a more acquired skill than the others and therefore represents the least fair option to the general populace.

Let me show you some numbers to illustrate the actual impact of the "TRACK OWNER".  Here are the compiled results of all the races for the last 7 years hosted by the major players.  Let's see how this actually breaks out:

As you can see from the information Bill's track is the least likely to reward the track owner while Bryan's is just about a sure bet.  Of the other 6 HO races, 3 were won by the "track owner" while two of the others were won by Bryan and Dave Smith - racers with great amounts of HO skill.

You can also see that the HO track owners have a far greater win rate vs. the other scales.

I believe this points out Bill's track as the best choice.  With the advent of the Thursday night series he's been offering most of us are quite familiar with the track reducing any advantage the track owner would have which the results clearly show.

Just the fact's ma'am.
