That's why I quit doing it, to be competitive the cars cost a grand or more and going to the track every Friday was about $50 by the time I got gas and paid the entry fee.

Yep, and the $50 is on the low side. Guys are buying new tires every week for races. There's your $50 easy right there. A lot of fun but really does add up. Now I just like collecting a few and play around.

Thanks. It's an Associated ProSC 4x4. I did all of the paint with spray cans.

Dusted off my racing buggy and ripped it around the yard, I really have the itch to go racing again.

HAHAHAHA! I hear ya man! I took my buggy out a few days ago as well. Just fun to play around with every once in a while for sure!
