Tonight, Robert ran his Mardave with a Brushless setup, with cells not LiPo BTW. WOW! It was flying and great to see, plus there was some talk of others keen to run something a little more 'open' than the current rules we have.
I do think that there is the potential for enough drivers who are keen to make the switch to allow us to run a 'open mod' group along with the current (more carefully policed) out of the box rules we have.
Both can work side by side without impacting the interest and appeal for the first-timer who's just getting into the sport and offering a fun class for those who want to enjoy close cheap racing, but at the same time having the open mod group for those who enjoy their tinkering and who wish to push the envelope of the class to the next step.
I therefore ask that all those who are interested in the open mod idea start discussing what would work. Once there is agreement we'll get it up and running at the club. Remember that we can have both forms running at the same time on the track, we'll just split them up in terms of points in a Championship scenario.
As I've made it pretty clear myself, I'm for keeping the current rules as they are for the standard out the box group, but to police it more closely, while the rest of you who are interested in an open mod - it's over to you.
I'll step back now from the discussion while you guys discuss what you want to do...
