Yo ET. There wont be a inner wall at the Nats bra. I dont think we will need it. We are all big enuff to stay on the race track and control ourselves. Also if we put somthing down the middle it only encourages people to use that inner wall and jam cars into it. There will be some very strict rules put into place with concerns to those who cut the centre on purpose, but these rules will explained at the drivers meeting the morning of the Nats. Any questions let me know.

I hate to be a stick in the mud but I have to agree with ET. With even just a rope pole line it defines the track, so if you want to cut the pole line good luck to you. I'm not trying to tell you how to run your event but I know from previous race meetings, regardless of how many rules you put in place, not having a physical pole line causes many discrepancies. But thats just my 2 cents...

I personally think the inner wall is almost as important as the outer wall. I just don't see how there will be any order/control without it. My first thoughts when first watching rc movies (team champs) was that the cars were all over the show. To me it looked more like a demo derby than a stockcar race. I couldn't imagine racing in Palmy without the inner wall, a couple of guys seem to struggle with going the right direction, let alone stay within a chalk mark. Just my thoughts.

Hmm,Having the inner walls has some ups and downs,Ups being that there wont be as greater chance for a big pile up in the racing,Downs being that could cut the track,and end up taking someone out or maybe rolling them which wouldnt really be fair,It wont be so bad IF otheres see what hes done,But still will cause a break in the racing,And you saw what it was like at bathust with alot of safty cars hehe,End of the day its upto the guys organizing the event,Roll on the nats ;D

even though im not racing the nats (dont think). inner walls (pole line) are a must. thats what they are there for in real life.... so you can tell the difference between the track and the infield. some people have rolled themselves on the pole line in real life... its simply there fault for trying to get stupidly close to it, to achieve nothing. even just a slight raise would be better then nothing. just make it that little bit mroe realistic. lol ;D

ok seems there is a bit of a concern bout this, so here's pretty much what we are going to be doing. there will be a chalk line as the inner wall ... the pole line will be chalked out as well. the object is to pretty much not cross that chalk line and cut across the "infield" to the other side. thats what the ruling was all about. if you happen to stray over that chalk line and i see your attempts to get back on the track imediately then your safe as houses..... its pretty much just sneaking straight across to the other side that i will be throwing cars out for.. i hope thats cleared up some misunderstandings etc
thanks . any other enquires etc you can put them on here or pm me

Ok guys heres the deal................ Although i understand all of your reasons for wanting the inner wall im sorry but there wont be one. Us guys in welly race every fortnite without it, we race every fortnite without so much as a 4x2 down the center of the track and we dont cross the center. Like i said i fully know where you are all comming from and i fully understand your concerns but if 8-9 cars from welly at a time can stay outside the chalk pole line why cant others?? If Joe Bloggs is out there doin real well and all of a sudden Mr Dixie Normus comes along and pins him to the inner wall instead of the outside wall, like he should and it costs Mr Bloggs the race is that fair??? I think we are putting too much emphasis on bullshit rules and politics and not enuff on the fun factor that this sport started out as. Yes i know the Teams was a mess, BUT, you point out 1 person that raced at the teams and didnt enjoy themselves. And apart from that i think you guys are picking the teams apart for no aparant reason cause from what i remember and from what ive seen going back over my video footage there was 4 incidents of cars on the infeild during races and ALL those cars entered back on the track from where they exited it, and whats more they did it without being asked or told to. The rest of the infeild crossing was done between races by those that were just running down Batteries and having fun, My self included. You all have very valid opinions and concerns and as always im open to ideas. If we put a rope or tyres in the middle we need marshalls in the middle, then we get guys saying the marshalls are in the way and there in lies yet another problem and another and another and so on. Lets just go race and have fun screw the rules!
