I can really appreciate the history and legacy of PASER, and how it has set the foundation for slot car racing for decades. My observation is that when new racers join our "group", in other words, just a new racer, it is a fairly arduous task to get them up to speed on the different "sanctioning bodies", the different rules, classes, etc. The most concise explanation was in Bill's post summarizing the general focus of the rule sets. I appreciate the scratch built high tech inline chassis in OSCAR/Paser, the big wheel stuff of NWTS and the Flexis/WOMPS for low pressure fun. Perhaps if each area specialized in one type of car, like has been mentioned, it would be easier to sort out for a new racer. . . or an older racer who is still confused LOL. In my mind, when I think OSCAR, a hinged pan, small tire NASCAR comes to mind. NWTS, I think big tire Hanna rattlers with an assortment of bodies. 2NASTE the 962 and NASCAR come to mind. For me personally, the I like hard bodies in general, the cars look sooo cool. I know that variety and innovation are a big part of the hobby, but if you have other irons in the fire, like work, real cars, working on real cars as a side hustle (gotta support the race program somehow), family, etc. it is difficult to keep up. Just my perspective as a full time employed, Slo Poks car club member, Ouchida Motorsports, Bart's Mercury Farm, Ouchida Chihuahua rescue, model car collector, AND slot car racer. Thanks for listening. . . .
