Great for the Hobby

Serge; What I would like to see is a National Championship conducted like the original Aurora ones. You purchased a kit  from the race sponsor which contained a stock car, oil, decals-whatever was in the kit and sponsor approved. You could set up the car with only what was in the kit-so if it included an awl or a screw driver you could say ream out axle races, the armature hole, release any bound hubs, adjust brush tension-you get the idea. It may include one type of tire for the race set-up and say a fine sandpaper for trueing. Every racer would use the same controller. In this setting the differences lie in the skill of the racer as all other variables are eliminated or at least reduced. Races would be conducted on the same layout schematic with the same type track. Perhaps Henry Harnish can shed some light as to how it was conducted by Aurora. Classes would be determined by the stock chassis type, so it could be T-Jet, various AFX permutations, and whatever is decided as a newer chassis type that is interesting among contestants such as Tomy AFX, BSRT, etc. The same formula would hold so not to be any variables within the classes aside from racer skill. Of course Riggen cars could participate within their particular class too. No one potentially would be left out, and there would be a bazillion classes so we would have a national champion in each class. Expense of course would be travel, board, and kit cost. Savy?
