I certainly do NOT work for any hobby shop at all, nor am I aligned with any specific shop other than to support the people who have supported me personally.
I can tell you that in West Suburbs of Sydney, we have 3 local shops that are all willing and able to assist anyone at all and they do so, EACH & EVERY WEEK by not only sponsoring the local club, but by providing support, advice, tips etc.
Perhaps this is rare, but in my experiences, this is why I feel so strongly that we support these businesses.
From the very first time I turned up at a race, I have been supported and not always for a dollar in their pockets either......sure, they run a business, but I have personally witnessed these LHS owners help people by fixing/tuning/setting up cars that were NOT even purchased from them in the first place.
Seriously guys, I'm sorry for you if you don't get the level of support I enjoy from our local LHS and I know the same is available from almost every capable individual member/racer at our local track.
Move to West Sydney and enjoy the hobby a little more
Keep smiling and remember...
