The Alky ranks are running as quick, or quicker than the fuel ranks were running 20 years ago on 100% nitro! However, they ain't gettin' paid near as much... so to require a person to compete in the Alky wars for a year or two prior to fuel licensing may actually be more expensive than jumping right into fuel.

Another consideration is this: How many passes equals one year of competiton? Does he/she have to qualify? Run National events? Divisional events?

George is right - either you got it, or you don't. If you don't you probably aren't ready for Alky either.
