To eliminate any confusion, I have started a new thread for Short Course racing and rules. These are basically the set of ruled that was started by "axialcrawler" with a few edits, clarifications and a few things taken from our original set of rules for the Slash class. I hope everyone will be in agreement, but these are still open for discussion.
