I don't have an indoor track close, so this is what I do during the winter.

Find some NEW friends... make them buy off road nitros... and start a new class at your track! LOL!.... I feel so spoiled having both less than 10 min from my house.... only thing I wish we had close is outdoor offroad...

We race all year round....but in the summer it's so hot we slow down quite a bit. glowplugs hate 110 degree weather...and I'm pale, I get burnt pretty bad, thank goodness for spray on sunblock....We look forward to the winter here....

I wait for Spring for the racing season to start again..but in the meantime, I run my Losi 1/24 rally car, and my favourite 'toy', the ARDrone..this thing is awesome

I take a chill pill, watch some football and wait for spring season to start again. I need the break, otherwise I burn out on RC. It happened 4 years ago when I race TC indoor in the winter.

Xbox! I raced last winter, it helped alot but getting burned out on RC plus 3+ hours to get to the track it takes it out of ya. Xbox black ops online helps with hand eye and with controlling your temper, those b@mn 8 year old kids kicking my but just reminds me of getting hacked and having to fight my way back to the front.
