I'll start by stating I am new to this hobby. When I say new I mean brand new as I was just in Park Lane yesterday and picked up my first mini-z. I was looking for a new hobby as I'm limited in space and my traditional hobby (N scale Model Railroading) had to be put to the side temporarily for space reasons. I have very limited experience with RC other than out of the box kits when I was younger so this was intriguing. The two guys I talked to in the shop said they were working on expanding the mini-z races so hopefully that will happen. They said they had one coming up in February and something about a tournament in April?
