But you're correct. Most tracks are a passion, but really a huge money maker.
well I’m dealing with a massive tooth infection so not in best shape
The club ideas are new to me. They were popular and more common before I got into RC. And only been on the race side for couple years. And while I’m interested in seeing if any of the clubs that are now being proposed can work. I’m a bit skeptical about it. Still seems like they will be dependent on a relatively small group. With no mention of trying to bring in the casual “weekend racer”.
Our group in Orland could have been considered a club technically, I think. While we were open to any coming and willing to run more classes if they showed. It basically stayed as a group of 10-12. Then few had work schedule change. And suddenly down to 6-7. We had a lot of public come to watch. But none crossed over. The store sold around 250 Traxxas 4Tec during our time. More then a few bought after trying mine on our track, but none came back.
