Which pro driver would you like to see racing full-scale cars, and which types of cars would they race? Matt Francis in a Desert Truck; Masami in

an F1 car? Tell us who, what and why.

How about Richard Saxton racing NASCAR for the sheer sake of seeing what he could do on the asphalt? I can see him now, power sliding through turn 4 at Bristol.

Put Matt Francis in a monster truck! Now, that would be a thrill to watch, don't you think? He could roll over his competition!

Robbie Craver

I hope I'm not dating myself with this response, but I'd like to see Cliff Lett race a supersonic set car like the Spirit of America. If he could make a TC3 go 90mph, I'm sure he could exceed Mach i in some kind of land missile.

Jeff Pierce

I think that Brian Kinwald and Matt Francis should both have a go at full-scale stadium-truck racing. Doesn't Team Losi sponsor a full-scale stadium truck? I thought I saw it in the mag once. Anyway, I think we'd all be surprised at how competitive they would be in full-scale racing.

Many of the skills they bring to RC racing could be applied to racing the real thing.

I don't know about full-scale cars, but I wouldn't mind seeing Masami Hirosaka, Joel Johnson, Chris Tossolini, Barry Baker, David Jun, Brian Kinwald, Mark Pavidis, Matt Francis, Atsushi Hara and Billy Easton battle it out in a 10-car main event with go-carts. Now that would be a spectacle I wouldn't want to miss for the world.

Matt Sheriff

In an effort to keep the racing cleaner and closer, one-way pulleys and one-way diffs were not allowed at the 2002 Reedy TC Race of Champions. Should a similar rule be adopted for all national and world-championship TC events?
