I agree with you as well. Work does me in too. So all the money I blow on this hobby just sits and rots downstairs. I would love to get out every weekend and race. It just can't happen when your in school full time and have a part time job.

They race on Saturday starting at 4pm start. Usually goes until late 9-10pm. Depends on who shows up. Usually around Nov.-Dec the place gets hoppin. There is ususally over 50+ entries for stock alone some nights. It just depends on what major event is coming up. You'll have a blast if you come out. Wed. night they also race I believe starting around 5? pm. Friday night is practice night as well. Starts around 1pm I believe. Not sure on that one. On Sat. doors open at 8am sharp. Get there early to get a pit table as well.

Can't make that? Hobbytown USA West Chester races on Saturdays around 2pm-till 6, 7pm. Sundays you'll find a bunch more of us coming out. We arrive around 10am and start at 2pm. Usually end at 6pm. There is about 10-15 of us. We're just there to have fun mostly. So don't get frighten if we have to laugh at you the first time you're there! It still happens to me when I stop by! You'll get use to us over time. It may take you 5 or so years but we'll learn to like you!

Touring car wise, get a Xray you won't regret it. There is some sweet deals on Fk05 (Around $200 for the car and a good load of parts, just a roller) and on T2's since the T2007 is coming out. Heck you could even get away with a T2r (cheap version good for the BMI conversion). There around only $200 street price. I paid $199.95 for mine plus shipping. The shop mosly carries Xray parts since 75% of us run them it seems . I guess if you take a look at my avator you'll see why I'm talking about Xray. You'll also see Corally's and a couple Cyclones up there as well. So take a look at those too. A good solid choice is Xray as if you break anything (track is user friendly!) you'll be able to just walk into the shop and get the part you need regardless if you run a Fk05 to a T1 (first car produced) I'll be up at the track on Saturday if you can stop by. Hope that helps.
