You don't have to be doing 100mph to have fun you know.

No one is saying its wrong, but the fact you're so popular is down to how well you're running the club etc.
If you could double or triple the size of your hall, people would run mod right? Same as PDA, you run the motor which is appropriate for the size.
The way i see it, stock and mod have swapped around in terms of having to spend alot to be quick. I came from TC back in august time and the amount of money and time people we're spending on making the cars quicker was silly. Now i've come to Off road, i've my put my Tekin's in my Cars and 5.5 and 7.5 respectively and i love it. I wouldnt want to put a 13.5 in for stotfold or EPR for example, but when i go to PDA or faversham i would more than happily put my 13.5 in and enjoy it.
I think the americans have alot of smaller outdoor club tracks where as we dont seem to in the UK so i guess it makes sense for the main class here to be mod.
It does get a bit silly in america though with the likes of the IIC and snowbirds where its like 15 classes all consisting of 20-30 people if that (mod at the snowbirds was 16 ppl!
) I'd rather race in a class of 120 people to really see how well im doing
