IMPORTANT CLUB VOTE - 12th Scale Motors

[Blake]

I think we're all scared....

For what it's worth:

1. It took the Exec two hours of *strong* debating to come up with no real answer.  60% of the Exec wanted Option A but could see some merits of the other options.

2. Based off the flack we took last winter, we decided to throw it to the group in an unprecedented move of democracy.  As you can see, Option C technically "wins" but not
convincingly.  Maybe the vote should have been worded differently... who knows.

3. Although Option C was the most popular, about half of those voters have no intention of running brushless this winter.  Not sure if this really matters or not....

4. At the track yesterday, after being away from the computer for four days, I was ready to defend myself on many levels.  In the end, no one approached me with anything negative to say about the process.

5. This winter I will give Shane my motor from last winter (or any other motor in my box for that matter), and I will buy Thomas a set of tires for his car.  Then, if either of them can get around the track without touching a wall, and they STILL can't run in the Top 1-4 then I will personally apologize to them that the system has failed them.

LMFAO  - best post yet.

Really option "C" wasn't an option when ppl started "voting" it kind of started out as a joke.  Option "C" will come wether its this year or not - its just how long we want to delay the inevitable.  I think although we are sucsessfull in doing our own thing we should also try to keep up with the times and what clubs around us are doing(ish).  Of course as we've seen with the countless post from the more vocal members of the club opinions vary greatly which is why the democratic process just doesn't work for our club.  We may moan and groan but when it comes down to it whatever motor we run we'll still be racing and ultimately that's all I really care about.

So that being said we're running brushless right?
