I have an RV and will bring my RC's with me when we travel each year, I was pretty excited to visit a nice covered 1/8 track in Tennessee for a club race while on vacation. To my dismay when I arrived, the layout was the same one as videos I saw posted 6 months prior. Not saying I won't go back, but I will certainly put another track on my route planning next trip... I was at a clear disadvantage and that wasn't much fun. It showed me why so many people only run larger races with green layouts. It also increased my appreciation for the local track in my area who does an amazing job making pipe layout changes for every monthly series race and a full rebuild for the 3 day events.
