"Also thought of a rent a 2wd for the night (I know trucks are available) with the amount of people visiting recently looking to get into the sport. If a 2wd was available to test drive at a small rent cost it may be a good start for someone to see if they enjoy it before shelling out money. Once this encourages in new people the money will benefit the club. Would this option be taken up often enough?
Just random ideas thrown out there?
As Ian stated I know of at least 4 people who have been in asking questions in the last few meetings.[/QUOTE]"
Sorry this has nothing to do with the shop thread but is linked to Never On A Mondays comment.
Just my tuppence worth as one of the people that popped in & asked questions. I have since been fortunate enough to use the club truck which I enjoyed very much.
I have ordered a 2WD buggy to use but having seen the quality of cars & drivers that are at the meetings I wonder if I should have gone down the slightly less popular truck route (Not taking anything away from the guys running trucks as I didn't see which way they went either).
I know that most meetings are over subscribed so another class may not fit in but as a newbie/returnee I would feel more comfortable if there was maybe a standard motor class that would be financially more accessible & allow people with the cheaper RTR kits (my budget doubled after my visit yet I'm sure I will not initially go any faster)to have a go without being lapped every other lap & not having to worry about being in the way & messing up more experienced drivers' races.
