Default No Shafties in 2010????

I just got wind that the rules committee have proposed a no shafty class!!!!

Meaning a MOA only class!

Bullcrap!

That's totally unfair the MOA guys wouldn't allow the shaft trucks to compete with them.

Sounds like they need to put the "No Reverse" rules into effect.

I aint skeered! Both have advantages and disadvantages... I really dont see what the big deal with it is, a shafty can hang with a berg if setup right...

Good thing I work for Georgia Pacific. I can get Kleenex by the case.

Would not think this would happen being Axial is still a strong supporter of crawling with their shaft rigs. Unless...........

Great, reminds me of that gay ass "Spec" class in short course racing.

I guess the MOA supporters are doing this as a rebuttal of the Sportsman class?:?

this would be the dumbest decision ever. As a president of a nationally recognized club we would vote on it, but I know we would not separate the classes. I know it wasn't the same thing but we tried a novice class this season and it fizzled. We had 2 shafties in our top 6 in points for a our just ended season. Just plain awful thinking in my opinion.......but who am I anyway.

What about MOA rigs that started as shafties?

I heard they were going to say no to that also?!

This is not good, I just spent a lot of money for nothing
