I agree with you there Lee. Even after 3.5 years of doing this I still have to get over the 'toy' hurdle.
As far as racing outside goes, its never really been tried in any huge numbers, but I think thats mainly due to the size as you've said.
We live indoors for the time being atleast...
The hardest part for me is trying to get major manufacturers and distributors in the UK to get over the toy thing aswell.
We had a tonne of support when it all first kicked off but its slowly dwindled down, althoguh saying that some of our most loyal retail supporters still stand by us and help promote us as much as they can.
We also had a nice amount of 10th guys attend the last National series thanks to the publicity that Jimmy'n'Vicky have give the micros by writing us some brilliant race reports on the site...but im greedy and want more followers lol
Thanks for the reply though
