they will give advise...what they can sell, with the greatest mark-up's.
Never have i seen/ heard of a shop helping..
I remmember racing at a certain shops track..they would all rub their hands and smile every time a loud "Smash" was heard..more money for em..
That track is a has been....
So..You tell me what shop has helped a newbie when he is having problems?

Its usually some one like me who feels sorry for the person...Not the local hobby shops as they see the newbies as "fresh meat"....
So..To the local hobby shops...bring your prices down, have a smile on your face when im shopping and Help the newbies...If that happens, then maybee, i said maybee we as racers/ hobbiests will support our local..Until then..all my hard earned cash will go overseas.....as i work for me...not him...
