I have been racing now for 14 months.
My impression so far

Racing a remote control car is inherently a lot of fun.
(Every time I go to a parking lot race it attracts people like a magnet)

The RC establishment and the Industry as a whole conspires to wring every ounce of joy and fun out of RC Racing and replace it with frustration, difficulty and expence.

If I had not made up my mind at the beggining that I was not going to let all the BS defeat me, I would have quit long ago.

The crap you need to go through for three 5 minute heats and 5 minute main is really incredible.
You my friend are a person who enjoys conquering the unkown and made your dad proud knowing you didnt grow up to be a punk!
Attitudes like this is what a person whos parents pushed them to be better do. Imjonah mind me asking if your older then 27?
