But if you want to get started in the sport...all I can say is practice, practice, practice...There are a bunch of other races going on as well around town. People are generally pretty helpful if they are in the RC scene and for sure direct you in the right direction...from learning to going to club races and trophy races. Just come out and get familiar with the people and for sure you will find out about more places to get your driving urges out of ya. Depends how far you want to take this sport.
Hope this helps.

can you tell us here? where in vancouver will there be events/races/tracks?
also, i want to make sure i can run my car at the track cause i know other ppl can have the same frequency as you. so if i register earlier, i might get priority

About the frequency, people there are generally pretty fair when it comes to play time and everyone works to ensure that everyone else gets the same play time. So don't worry, everyone will get about the same run time if problems do arise.
But generally, since there are not that many players, the frequency problem is not that serious.

it's a good investment to get an extra set or two crystals of different bands

The frequency issue shouldn't be a big deal...You could protect your frequency by having different crystals or pretty much share the band with someone. All you have to do is shout out your frequency and ask if anyone is using it at the moment and go from there...people are generally pretty nice about this...other than the newbies turning on radios when they really shouldn't be...I usually works out.

Hey Stradith,
Do you know which part of landsdown's parking lot will the track be located? I heard that it will be placed at a "corner place" because of the natural concrete barriors
However, there are parts of lasndown's parking lot that have better surface and are much cleaner than other ones. So, will you guys pick one that is best? Or are there other restrictions. if you guys need people to help pick the best surface patch, I will be more than willing to help on sat.

Thanks B, but we are restricted to the back end of Lansdowne. It is on the opposite side of No. 3 Rd. You'll be sure to hear the engines reving when you get there. Looks like it is going to be sunny and we will be setting up at 5 pm.
Yeah, we have to use the concrete side walk as part of the barrier, because we are restricted with the use of boards we have. Plus its on the straight anyways, it is a better chance you won't hit on that side.
....but things do happen
Hope to see you guys all out there!
