Everytime I describe this hobby to people they are amazed, and most have never heard of RC racing at this level let alone established race tracks.
Does 301 raceway have spectator stands yet, ... VIP seats??
I would hope that interest in this hobby continues to increase and brings it to new levels. CurveTracer I also get about the same responce from people whom I describe our hobby to. Most people when you say "RC" think of visions of Radio Shack or Walmart toys. Often times when you put out numbers like 1.5 hp and 60 or 70 mph people usually say "Oh really", but then think to themselves, "Yea sure buddy".
