Good Day Scale Racers after my post last week about My Division 2 National Championship I received many PM responses along with some comments on the post page .
Piranha Products will not have the 2026 National Championships and will never host a scale National Championships as long as Ron Hersman is involved. He has single handed destroyed USRA div 2 .
I want to thank those that sent positive pm to me and for those who thought I was the problem good luck at the Ron Nats .

Racers good day .. I have been asked from several people what is the status of the Division 2 Nationals championship. Well below are the hard facts that I have in emails from Ron Hersman some good and some bad . You racers can decide if your racing the USRA ( United Slotcar Racing Association or Ron Hersman new scale race . Please pm me here if you are planning on attending the Race at Piranha Speedway .
Facts
1. No raceway except piranha bid for the 2026 Race .
2. As of November of 2025 I have emails from Ron and I working on the schedule.
3. After telling Ron Hersman he was not allowed in my raceway as his owes the raceway money is when he started on his venture.
4. To make it clear it’s not Ron if anyone does not pay there outstanding debts than you won’t be allowed in the raceway.
5. Ron clams that per the rule book he must be allowed in its does not say that he must and I have been to the national championship in both div 1 & 2 they are not present . He is not the only official that they appointed either one of them could handle the situation.
6. Ron attempted to change the race and also the dates
Per the rules it must be held in April and May . Mach 1 race is not until months later does not meet rule book.
7. Ron and other racers accused me of doing things I shouldn’t do because I didn’t have the authority.
Here is what I did No Payouts to Racers and lower classes have to purchase tires from the raceway.
Wow one race a year and you complain about what I did. Well I did it for a reason
NO RACEWAY BID FOR THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
Why raceways not making any money.
Ron took my two changes that he said I wasn’t allowed and added to those . Motors are handout mid america and tires for the lower classes and the Brushless Motor and the ESC must be purchased from the raceway which is mid America for the euro sport classes .

So in closing I changed very little trying to get things going .
So you Scale racers the decision is up to you the racers . If you want to come to Piranha Speedway one of the finest tracks and facilities in the USA I would love to see you there.
I will know in a few days if I will have the race as purchasing awards and closing for the week needs planning.
Whatever you decide good luck in all your races.
