Toronto!!! i dunno, but it's a good city... the LHS here is really good.... so i think that T.O. is pretty good....

or, we can somehow make the mini-z a motor sport just like the real 1:1 cars... like race for $$ have championships.... travel around the world... stuff like that... it'd be so cool 1:24 style!!

Well I figured it would be fair if each track posted pictures and details about the track.People would then vote and we'd have a track based on the pics,info and location.

It wouldn't be too much of a big deal just set a date,race and have a good time with some people that we would normally never race againist.All the hosting track would have to do is just post some hotels nearby,maybe put some cash together for a trophy and set up a good fair system for racing.

Day one would be for getting used to the track,making adjustments and the second day would be for racing.

Keep in mind, the location needs to already have a world-class track!

Sorry to possibly rain on parades or burst bubbles, but...

I honestly don't think holding a "national" mini z conference would work for a couple of reasons:

- many members here are under 20 years old, and they would not have the income nor the time to fly somewhere to race their mini-z's, or hang out with people from this forum, as cool as it would be.

- airfare across the country is very expensive. If the Nationals were in SoCal, there is no way I could afford to fly from Toronto to be there. Same goes for guys like Wedginator and Fusion, (I'm assuming) or Mondo, who lives in England.

- To get everyone on the forum to agree on a location would be futile. The only one here that has any authority IMO is mini-z. And I doubt he would pick SoCal for the Nationals if he lives in Michigan (or wherever).

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see a National Mini-Z meeting take place, but I just think that it would'nt be feasible, considering the international nature of this forum.

Thanks for listening to my gripes.

central location

If it's International I'd pick NewYork.
If it's National I'd still pick Chicago if it's during the HobbyModelShow.
or anywhere in the midwest if it's any time during the summer. I'm sure people would take that road trip. That's very feasible for the younger racers since school is out. Just borrow the Family Truckster.

There are direct flights to Chicago for Mondo and other oversea chaps.

Now, where is there a world class track in the midwest...

At the moment, I'd be more interested in organizing coordinated locals, so that people are racing under the same rules etc.

I understand. That is a step in the right direction for sure.

Maybe a "Spec" class could be used instead of stock, mod, open, which allows only certain, approved modifications. Something like the Kyosho World Cup, or the Tamiya TCS. That way, some sort of cost control could be put in place for a more even field, and to help out folks like me who can't afford to spend a lot of money on their Z's. One idea is to could use handout tires and motors, which are cheap and keep the racing even.
