the R/C Racing Community Is Ace

[James]

Its so awesome to see so many characters meeting up every weekend up and down the country in the spirit of competition, the Petit at the weekend highlighting this - making new friends from across Europe and the world, watching some awesome, fast racing, and some entertaining racing all the way through the heats and finals. Its a reminder at how great our sport can be. To all those club racers out there, if you can make it farther and wider than your local club try and do so, even abroad; if you don't win, don't worry its the experience that counts. To all those thinking of entering the oOple race or other similar perceived high standard races, don't be afraid, just get your entry sent off its a great experience and you'll make new friends and learn a lot. Another thing that seemed to stand out at the petit was the number of people who race who actually work in the industry, not just weekend warriors. Must be an interesting area to work with opportunities for travel and input into products that sell world-wide and are well known. A few of us were talking at the weekend about how mad we were to be in a shed with toy cars for 4 days and getting up at 5.30 to race when our mates are out and about at home or out in town or whatever but the people you meet, places you go, competitive aspect or racing all make for memorable experiences.

Just thought i'd share that thought for the day.

And why can't our council see that and let us have planning permission for our indoor track at RHR
