^+1 Very cool. One big race event I haven’t made that I should, along with Pike’s Peak perhaps. Which some corners look like sprinters, with breathtaking cliffs for scenery in case the drivers get bored.
Real racing for sure, can’t think of a more intimidating race car to strap into, and I even have some related experience. They're pretty wild even before they start rubbing fen.. oh wait, those are tires they're rubbin.. yikes.
The first real RC I checked out at a small store was a sprint converted RC10 in ‘88. Bought my first buggy without ever actually seeing one.
