Novelty might be a bit far for me, just a bit over 200 miles from Olathe. Although, I'm always up for a road trip!
I might just give Pleasant Hill a try though, thats just on the other side of Lee's Summit. Maybe a 40 mile drive.
I've just started with RC's, actually about 2 months ago to be honest. I'm into the savages hard core now though. I'd like to start running some races mainly just to get some drive time in it on a dirt track. How hard is it to start racing? Can a guy just be a beginner and go to the track, find a beginner class and start running?
