If stadiums were to make a come back to the point where there are 20/30 drivers at a meeting, that would be awesome! I was surprised when I got back into RC a few years ago that Stadiums had died completely. 1/10th Nitro Stadiums seemed to have a massive following! But now they're nowhere to be seen.

ST class has been available at SCT national events for 2 seasons and open again this year, there is the opportunity just no takers... apart from 2 heats at Broxtowe SCT National last year every other meeting had no entries
Disagree with your opinion on SCT racing, its actually cleaner driving than buggy heats at national meetings, cars handle very well, they have characteristics but a hell of a lot more downforce than a buggy and since last year have proper suitable tyres, the 4WD's are quickest 1/10th cars out there, like group B rallying equivalent in the r/c world! with the right driver they can p*ss on 4WD buggies lap times on some tracks with 550 4 pole motors
Unfortunately a joke heat of 14 trucks crashing and bashing at Worksop indoors and Ardent winter series in front of a large crowd a few years ago in the beginning of SCT's seriously harmed the reputation of UK SCT racing and put off a large number of potential drivers
