Racing has always seemed to me to be trying to beat the next guy......in the same class of car. I happen to like scale cars as I only race cars that represent something I like in full sized cars.

Within that limitation, yup, going as fast as possible is what it's all about.

A well balanced club has classes to cater for:

- the engineers AND the drivers
- the speed crazed NSR Mosler brigade AND the the beautiful scale model drivers.
... and everything inbetween.

The hobby has space enough for everyone.

I'm not sure I'd call NSR Mosler drivers 'speed crazed'. Yes they are quite quick but not as quick as a good Mura motored 60's car on spongies or even urethanes (yes I've tried both type of car - I still run the Muras and they destroy Thunderslot cars on my wooden track and handily beat the NSR)

Speed crazed is wing cars Bigsmile
