Not quite as good as 120mph knee down and 190mph on the straight but must say I love it - been thoroughly absorbing. Appeals to my scientific nature
We're quite similar! I track my camaro as well frequently at the socal tracks but havent been out since Big Willow last year. Adrenaline is a natural painkiller so I'd be in a lot of pain in the pits in between sessions, but on the track all is good. If only it stayed that way.
They implanted an intrethecal spinal pain pump about 4 months ago so I've been adjusting to it and spending a lot of time at home.
I've built 10 RC models in the past year, sold 2 Gmade crawlers for $700 too. Turns out there IS a market for people who build RC cars
Building to me is therapy, it fascinates me how everything works together. I built every single Tamtech car most recently. Amazing scale details but a boring build.
