I think the question your really asking yourself is:

"Do I actually want to do RC?"

I found that if you don't enjoy the racing at relaxed club level, then you won't enjoy it at all. For me this is the most fun, meeting people on a regular basis, and making friends in racing. I do do some regional events as well, but never really enjoyed the really big national events, since they were hard work, and a lot of travelling. For me on my own this was very tiring and not very enjoyable. As it is, the local club 20 miles away on a friday evening is really fun, very relaxed, always a good track and also indoors (so regular racing even in winter). While it may not be the most challening track and is a similiar surface every week, I enjoy the social side of things and talking to people and having a joke...

Just keeping in the RC scene and reading on Oople keeps me happy

Hope this helps
