Have you tried the grip levels with a golf ball and a putter on the new clay James?
Any good at building windmills?
just thinking if it all goes Pete Tong with 10th offroad in the not so distant future we could join forces and start a chain of A1 corridor based crazy golf courses
The point you made was interesting too... i can remember racing at Blythe Regionals 15+ years ago, completely different crew running it back then heard it died off to wasteland pretty much and was resurrected by the current fresh crew a few years back....
There was a smallish club in Grantham that died 10 years back, was mixed class, went to offroad, changed to tourers all through r/c trends then closed... it's the same crew behind A1 Racing Club pretty much,
This pattern has followed many existing clubs, but you can't shut a business for a couple of years whilst the fashions change.
R/C racing will hit a drop at some point, hopefully many years from now... kids from the xbox generation haven't come through the hobby in the same numbers as in the past, so neither will their kids and so on.
Most racers i know from years back have had a massive break whilst their families grow up and then they bring their youngsters into it.
So if you do intend to get involved in the club organising side of the hobby... make an effort to push the hobby to the younger generations, we are working on it with beginners nights, ads in local press and flyers to schools etc it is working and we have a regular following as most parents don't want kids sat on backside getting fat in front of xbox etc.. but also don't dare let them play around in streets... which is where a friendly sociable club/hobby can be aimed, its also why we push SCT's so much... perfect beginners cars into offroad racing.
