Let me explain what happened to the results. We are now using a pc that is in the container and the results don't come home anymore so impossible to post unless I remember to take my flashdrive along....like that's going to happen..We take a printed version home to do the points.
Anyway, we try to make racing as affordable to all as possible because we assume everyone is on a budget. Therefor the different classes. If the 17.5 and 13.5 will be to expensive or if TT01 is to cheap, voice your opinion. The alternative would be to race a class you can afford. I am not speaking on behalf of the committee at all so don't see it that way. It is my opinion and a logical one at that.

If nothing of value is being discussed on the forum, then a bit of kakprat is the order of the day just to keep things rolling. If some take offence to their only being kakprat going on, then they should encourage some constructive chit chat re setups, race times, who's painting up a new body, new equipment, new ideas, etc. The amount of topics to discuss about rc is endless!
I do agree with you as well, but someone needs to stepup to keep the forum up to date re results, events, etc. Without the flow of information, what do you have? And with that you'll encourage the traffic flow and the comments will follow.
Oh yes, get a flashdrive that clips onto your carkeys keyring, that way you'll never leave it at home!! cheers

Jokes, it's cool standing in the shop talking *insert choice word* about rc for hours!! Maybe make a poster in the shop, advertise the flying section, offroad section, etc available on the forum. Where's Brad? What's happening to the drifting scene?? Or is he paintballbefok??

Someone needs to step up to the plate and keep the forum updated on a regular basis wrt to results, lap records, rule changes, up coming events, ideas, etc etc. Without that, there is no interest to discuss anything.
Being proactive is much easier than being reactive!!

THE NO DECENT WORD FILTER SLIPPED ON THIS WORD,COMPUTER PROGRAMS NOT SO EFFECTIVE THOUGH
