I feel when it starts to get hot the off-road racers will race closest to their home unless it rains. That's why off-road is doing so well now at Hotshot, because of weather.
The hobbyshop needs inventory that is not model specific.Tires, bodies paint, wire motors servos speed controllers and as loyal club racers we should only buy those items from Hotshot.
Racing to generate money to support a track puts a heavy burden on the racers and takes away from the fun and learning process needed to get faster. As a club track we should be doing more to stay together than looking for a few sponsored races that still won't keep the doors opened at Hotshot.
Instead of taking sides why don't we try some off-road on-road guys? and off-road guys try some on-road this way we can keep what we have and make it better.
Maybe a snack stand could help generate extra money I'm thinking of a Fryer and electric gill on a table every little bit helps.
I was suggesting this in another thread. If there are acceptable tires we could run on our 2wd buggies that won't hurt the track, I would like to run the buggies on road. Wouldn't cost anything but the wheels and tires and could work on some different skills.
I'll admit that ideal for me is to have a big enough indoor dirt track to run ebuggy, but whatever Brad decides i'll support and keep coming out to HS as much as I can. However when given the choice of racing ebuggy or not racing ebuggy i'm going to choose the former.
When talking about outdoor competition I know my inherit lazyness will factor in all the extra equipment and setup time required with outdoor (ezup, tables, chair, air compressor, etc.) vs. making one trip from the car to the HS pits and being ready to go in 5 mins. I'm pretty sure at that point HS would become my home track and would only venture out to Loganville, Dalton, HCRCR on special events.
