Ok! Since this thread has officially been hi-jacked and derailed here's my 2 cents.
I'm relatively new to R/C and dirt. Ran my little 1/16 scale buggy on a race sunday at LH. Entered the rookie class and had a blast for 2 qualifiers. Then, you guessed it, a 1/8 scale truggy went over a jump and squashed me like a bug. Funny as hell. If you don't want the occasional banging, build your own track or run in your backyard. Accidents happen and there will always be somebody faster with more skill and experience. Everybody spends hours rebuilding their cars/buggys, etc. That is part of the fun and the hobby. Everybody I've ever met at LeisureHours has been really helpful.
Back to the track thread. There has been a few new tracks built this year by local racers in general. It is really hard to make private tracks that are not backed by hobby stores, stay in business and profitable. Just try and build your own track and see the pitfalls. Nothing is for free in life.
Relax, play nice and make friends, not enemies.
