In the thread talking about inverting starts there have been several opinions about the inverts and the way races should be run.
In talking to a few of the people in that thread there is a pretty wide difference in the types of tracks that make up those opinions.
Where our local club races nearly all year long on a outdoor asphalt parking lot type of track running approx a 300 ft run line w/ 18 - 22 ft wide lanes.
The guys running on short carpet view things differently since the racing is so much tighter and track length is so much shorter.
Our travelling series runs at tracks from 200' flat asphalt to 950' velodrome, so we've got a very wide variety of tracks we cover.
This is something people forget when trying to create rules, procedures, classes, etc. for ALL of Oval Racing. It also is most likely a leading reason why people are perceived to disagree on some subjects, but when you can dig deep enough...you find out things are not that different all and all.
The one thing I think ALL of us agree upon... R/C Oval Racing... There's NOTHING like it.
