[NutmegCarrera]

Additional perspective:
This “saturday night league” seems pretty nice - at least on the surface.

There are some pretty well defined classes. A couple of ‘starter’ brackets - which is great. Encourages people to get out there and race without spending ridiculous money.
The first few are aligned to brushed motors, 2nd, generally pretty stock setups.
That opens the activities up to people for pretty low investment.

….and then there are ‘modified’ and ‘open’ classes.
Looks like there are a couple guys with bigger investments there.
This coming week is going to be a ‘normal’ race - where they will be running brackets and actually competing.
Last week was more or less a practice session, and as I understand it - was not that heavily attended.
As it was, there were a pretty good number of folks there.
The low ‘buy-in’ is nice, but by the same token - there were a lot of people out there who couldn’t avoid crashing with every surface they could find. So, you probably aren’t going to spend much time on the track until your bracket - if you actually care about your setup.

From what I understand, there is a track in Milwaukee that is more like I would expect. Some really fussy characters with high-$ toys that get bent out of shape if you bump into them.

It’s always a balance between having fun and “that’s why we cant have nice things!”

Again - just curious what others have seen in this ‘sport’.

I can see that it could get addictive. Not sure that I want to spend a couple hours in the car going to these things, but like to get some kicks locally.


Oh-
The track we went to is a small town municipal building where they set up a carpet surface with a course laid out in PVC pipe. Apparently had been doing an oval track until last week - when they set up a road course.

Heading to the closest hobby shop with a track - those guys have got an oval and a clay buggy course. Sounds like fun.
