Opening day you never know who will show up to watch or race.
There will racers who have been around r/c racing for many years
and will be glad to help with car set-up or even
line you with a r/c car to drive or even sell.
If your looking to get into racing this day would be a
good day to come out. There will be r/c companies there
to assist you in anyway.

You are absolutely right, Jason. Well said.
