Checking it out

Hi all,
I used to be into lots of racing a couple years back from Offroad RC at IRCR to drag racing motorcycles out at RMR. Went through a divorce and sold it all to make ends meet. Would really like to get back into RC racing. Trying to keep it on the cheaper end for now, but that normally does not last long. And summers are filled with kids sports and car building for fun. I am looking for something in the winter and hit a couple races a month in the summer when there is no sports going on. Came across this site and figured might be perfect. Main questions are how many regularly race, what class is the most popular, how often are normal races and such? I have been looking for on road racing, but does not seem like anywhere races indoor in the winter.

Thanks for reading,
Rob

Darel is right, The biggest Classes are Racer and F1. I would suggest a Racer to start (MR-02 or MR-03). This would be our biggest class and we have about a steady 10+ guys racing. We recently lost our warehouse location as the company that was allowing us to use it no longer needed it. We are still racing but have moved to my house. it's a bit tight but the racing is just as fun. We race twice a month on Thursday Nights. the race time are posted at the top as well as in the Current schedules thread. The Dates will be updated for about the next 6 months after the first of the year.

if you have any specific questions, We would be happy to help out.

I'd say estimated cost to get up and running would be under $300. with very minimal expense after that. you could improve on that by getting a used car, good deals always pop up on ebay and the Mini-zracer Marketplace

Hope that help.
