Aren't some of our local guys "pro racers"? You, in fact, list the following "sponsors":
Werks racing
Proline tires
Panther Motorsports Design
Team Helotes
Al's Hobby Shop, Elmhurst
What's the difference? Help me understand please....
The difference is they drive on a track everyday and get payed to do it. There job is to become the best racer possible to help promote the company thats sponsoring them. By them driving good and winning top races means that younger kids will buy what there driving because they are winning big races. Its a small price to pay for the companies.
The chitown guys drive on the track only on the weekend and have to pay for it. They only get deals on stuff like half off and what not but they also have a semi normal life like family, a full time job thats not RC. They still work for a living out side of RC so they can pay the bills. The pro drivers lifes are based on rc's and they are full time jobs.
