Any chance of adding Open Wheel forum to Model Car threads?

This has probably been suggested a million times ... but here goes ...

Any chance of adding an Open Wheel Racing forum to the Drag Racing and NASCAR forums in the Model Car section?

This forum would highlight Indy & F1 cars, Champ cars, TQ's and anything else that races with open wheels.

Would be nice.  Never understood why the racing sub forums were so limited.

The forum may be limited somehow to keep this from happening, just a thought. 

I do recall it being  explained that people have a hard time putting threads in the correct place as it is.  I do understand what you are asking and your reasons behind it.

Unfortunately I don't see this happening.  There are too meny categories as it is and in most cases they are not being used. 

For example we have a section for model building questions. However some use the general model and automotive section, some ask in the drag, nascar, wip sections. In one case I saw a question posted in the kit news and reviews. Adding another catagoy is pointless if everyone doesn't use it.

There is an option already available that is not well utilized and that is the tag feature. My suggestion would be to use the nascar forum and add up 4 descriptive tags to sort those entries.

Yes it has been tried a million times and no it won't get approved.  Here are a few race car modeling forums I belong to if you are interested:

How about OTHER RACE CARS.  open wheel, sports cars, off road, rally, land speed, sprint cars, super modified.

I am very interested!  Thank you very much.

I was sure it had to have been suggested in the past ... but, no harm in asking.

Yes JC, thank you very much for the race car forum links. I've been thinking it would be nice to have a site with more coverage of a variety of race car models, especially road racing and rally.

So, just asking....If I have a road race car, does it go into the NASCAR section or just the regular WIP and Under Glass sections?

I was just about to suggest the same thing. You beat me to it. Great idea!

[bobthehobbyguy]

Another thought which would only require changing the drag racing to straight line which would cover drag , bonneville, and any other straight line , and change nascar to circle and oval track racing. Then use tags for sorting the different categories for sorting. No need for any new catagories would be needed.

Now that's a good idea right there. Agreed.

I would go with the regular sections seeing that a road race car wouldn't technically "fit" into the two race car categories as provided.

I love that NASCAR has it's own section, but why not just make the NASCAR sub a racing sub and everyone will be happy.

Unfortunately, as soon as the second category is created, people will put things in the wrong place.
