As current Chairman of LBMCC we took a year out of Micro National due to the guy organizing it basically having to do everything single handed, say for a few helpers. And most of the racers left the building before the trophies had hit there hands! I appreciate people have got traveling to do but we all have homes to go to.
I for one didn't want to run the race as all I got last time was complaint after complaint as I sat at that computer all day doing timing when I dont even race the class.
I honestly think micros are getting out of hand there supposed to be micros when do they stop becoming micros? longer chassis wider track!. 1/14th - 1/16th - 1/18th what was wrong with the blaze? and the micro t. People wanted 1/10th handling rather than learn what was there. I got out of micro racing when it was just the Blaze and Micro Ts on the shelf and have stated several times how the bubble burst once before and it would again.
Darren at DMS was very instrumental in getting Micro Racing going the first time round im not sure if his track out back still exists but after a period of highs the lows followed and micro t racing went the way of the dodo.
(I FORGOT THE ASSOCIATED BUGGY)
Dont even get me started on costs of parts but when titanium pivot balls cost £11.99 a pair its getting a little pricey!
Thats why many parents at lbmcc have encouraged the kids to sell up they simply cant afford to keep them running.
Well thats my tuppence worth.
Im off to race my Tamiya Mini
