Thanks Leadfinger1, I appreciate the welcome.
Racing people are great, fullsize or scale, and I have many wonderful stories. Sat next to 2 brothers at a big race in upstate NY and when I mentioned how I always got a hotel room for the 2 day races they said, 'No way', and invited me to spend the weekend. Next thing I knew they'd called all there friends and relatives and I was in the midst of big a cookout and given a room for the night. Plus, we played with all the guys R/C cars and had a great time.
Another time I was running late and just got to a track as the first race was lining up and had to sit way down front. I heard a lady yelling and looked up to the top of the grandstand to see an elderly couple waving me up. They remembered seeing me at every race and were wondering where I was so they saved me a seat.
And the guys I used to race slotcars with - you couldn't ask for a better bunch to hang out with. Sort of like the vibe I get here.
