Kinda regret bringing all this up. I just really don't want to make anyone mad or not like me. This is something that we did with off-road rc and it was fun. I like crawlin better because their is less pressure for me not running around like madman bleeding from the head. I like it because it is more laid back and you guys around me make it great and fun. |

dont regret anything jason,,,,you have every right to make your thoughts and opinions known,,just like anyone who rings in we all have our own ideas and thoughts on this and all other subjects but we have to be adult enough and man enough to agree to agree or disagree without taking anything away from someone we dont agree with or someone who doesnt agree with us Last edited by rmdesignworks; 11-01-2009 at 08:39 PM. |

I do not see where having a wife and kid should make a difference in the outcome of a comp.You pretty much just said you have a sponsor and I have a wife and kid so I can not beat you.Like I said earlier we all had to start at the bottom and several of us have a wife and kids. How does that have anything to do with winning or not? I think Jeff Gill and Myself among others I know are good examples of that not being a valid argument. I will say it can make some aspects of it harder like travel but that's about it.I will be the first to say that it cost allot more to take the 3 of us across the country to a comp than the guy that just throws his stuff in a back pack and jumps on a plane. But on a local level it does not cost anymore. Now if you have a wife and a kid that both compete it does.My wife runs 2.2 and myself and son run 1/9,2.2,and Super.I have 7 comp rigs to keep going and that is expensive but I love it so much I eat allot of crackers so we can do it. Come to think of it the worst part of having a wife and kid when it comes to comps is having to get them up at 3 in the morning to drive on average 3-4 hours and then throw a hour in because of a time change to get to our local point series at least for me that is the worst part well unless Tyler beats me and then I have 3-4 hours in the car with him talking about how he beat me | |

well heres my thought for what its worth boiled down pretty simply,,,some of the greatest minds in the history of mankind started out wondering " WHAT IF,,,,,,," If you dont ask the question there can be no debate,,if there is no debate there can be no answer,,if there is no answer then whats the point? |

joe,,i agree with most of what you say,,,but some of us junkies have deeper pockets to buy the "drug" some of us myself included are addicted but have to buy food before rovers,,and we all no the difference between stock kit tires and the top of the line rubber...or how fast,,a lesser wheel will spin on the hex then a $129.00 set of ally's I think thats what jason's point is,,yes or no jason? |

The idea of a true novice class for those who want to run it would be good. If you could get a universal program that would work for everyone involved. I think if a group of drivers at a comp want a novice class they should take the initiative to organize and run it. This would help with the time constraints on a extra class or two. | |

I honestly do not agree with that.Most crawler sponsorships are not 100%free rides.It all boils down to the driver and his ability to put the proper setup together and beable to drive it. I qualified for the 08 Nationals in Super and 2.2 without a single sponsor I then picked up a couple before the trip to Moab.I recived no parts from them before hand and still won Super and took 6th in 2.2 Andy "Badd" was no major sponsored driver when we went to Moab that year and took 4th in 2.2 With all that I have said I have a suggestion that may work for you. I do not see a no sponsored drivers class on a national level.But you can have one locally.So why not organize one .But do not try to leave it up to the guys already covered up in work putting on events and run that class yourself.I would say 90% of clubs would let you have your own class if you handle all the leg work and they do not have to be involved. | |

RIGHT ON,,,NOW WE ARE MAKING SOME CONVERSATOIN.....i agree a non-sponsored driver can go to like the nationals and compete,,however on the same point he can do so if he has the right set up,,but following your point Joe and Jason's,,the contender has to have comp level equipment,,Axial's are great out of the box just like BULLY 2's but,,you cant compete,,box stock against built...unless that box stock is comp level already,,now i think everyone will agree,,that for the most part,,nationals comp level and local comp level or not level

I run a Season of SERCRC with no sponsors and won the Series in both classes in the 2 weeks before nationals I picked up some good sponsors and did not need anything.So why ask for something I did not need? | |
