Copied from SCI for more exposure:

Being new to this hobby, I sometimes find it very confusing and somewhat technical. I don't know anything about volts, ohms, balancing or winding armatures, magnets of any color, this gear, that gear etc. I don't know the difference between a $99 controller and a $350 controller. When I go to Nitro Slots and read what you guys are doing, it's very impressive. BUT! I don't think the "average" HO enthusiast wants to spend that much time and or money (or even has the technical ability). I've raced, as a newcomer using borrowed equipment, with several different organizations. I had a GREAT time with all....I think that this hobby has become so technical and expensive, that just a core group of people will persist. The "newcomer" doesn't stand a chance in hell of becoming competitive.

With that said, Dave, if you were to sponsor a race that ONLY used a stock motor and chassis, no mods, except body mounts, and tire combo, you MIGHT get people to participate. I, for one, would get a kick out of seeing what my STOCK Tyco and Meg G cars would do on a track such as yours, and against other Tyco and Mega G cars.


My favorite car, stock Tyco 440x2, lowered body......Total cost $15


Second favorite...Total cost: One Mega G (from set), and .83 for body.

What I've always liked about drag racing: Someone can show up with the UGLIEST car on the planet...and still race!

Count me in. I have about 25 of the AutoWorld 4gear chassis with stock motors. Just changed the bodies and rear tires. I can run from Top Fuel to Street.
Just let me know. Pictures available if needed.

It is an older thread. But if we can get some interest in "STOCK" cars, who knows.....

You mention there is a race planed in December. Where is it? Is it a "proxy" race? What cars are allowed??
