I figured I wouldn't hack up the other thread, so started a new one here so we have lots of room to work on it.

For those planning on ever going to Nationals, this is a HUGE thing. Prepping for a 40 minute race versus the short 25's is a big difference. There's a reason why I was running Glenn down in 2009 in the final laps and then passed Liebbie on the last lap in 2010. LOL!


Texas AI/CMC should consider evaluating "this is how we've always done it" and start trying something different once in a while. Can I give you guys a 3 race format with a 40 as the final at TWS in Sept? Or the ECR race would be even better as we KNOW the championships usually go down to the last last of the last race of the season.

Did you realize that in RM, the driver's don't really have a say in their race formats? They ENJOY getting things mixed up. We even do chase races for points. We throw in hour long "sprint" races once in a while. Inverts, standing vs flying, etc aren't figured until the Saturday meeting. I'm just sayin....


There's nothing wrong with doing it the same every time, but there's a sanctioning body out there that sticks to what they have done the same since the 50's and it's really turning off their competitors. Easy to manage, but not creative. Businesses that don't stay innovative are usually destined to fail.
