The Japanese can say the same thing, and at all the large events here in the US, the best Japanese teams show up and do really well. Thats why when there is an event in Japan, US teams go. They go to where the competition is. Who short of Masami Jukka and Cragg from "across the pond" can keep up with tebo, maifield, Cav, Kinwald, drake, root, the list goes on? there is no reason for the companies to fork money out to send there drivers far away to prove what can be proved at events held in our backyard? Look at all of the past Ifmar Worlds results. The EU drivers that can keep up come play, all 2 of them.
No sense in beating a dead horse.

Lets see how many of your "stars" can keep up with Cragg, Martin or Stafford etc if they came over here to race on our style of tracks, I'd put money on no more then one of the names you list getting in the A final at one of our Nationals
The only reason American drivers have done okish at the Worlds, is because it's held on the same sort of tracks they race on all of the time, surely a "World Championship", should be held on different sorts of tracks, bit like Tennis, you have the guys who can play on grass courts, or clay, etc, but the top guys can play well on all sorts of courts.
Anyway, back on subject, any news of how 4wd is going?
