You guys always want support for your track but never go to other tracks.
It,s alright to travel you might learn something. :tongue:
Many of our racers/members travel all over the Northeast to different tracks. Infact, you probably have raced with a number of them. I can think of 4 of them right off the bat that race at 3 different tracks EVERY WEEK. I'm not sure who your directing your comment too but I'm assuming it's me.
Unfortunately, many of us can't afford to make the trips out of state to other tracks. Speaking for myself, I work for the Legislature and as you may know, The Legislature is in Session. Aside from working frequent 70hr weeks, I'm on call 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. I also have 4 children at home. When I'm not spending time with my family, I'm out buying supplies for the track and doing all the paperwork needed to keep it going. I would LOVE to visit all the tracks in the Northeast. Unfortunately, I can't. Our track is a club which means we're not getting rich running it. Every penny the track takes in is used for parts, supplies, and track upgrades.
We welcome everyone that comes to our track with open arms, not because we think we're going to get something out of it, but because we simply like to race and make friends. I hope this helps you understand what we are about. I'm simply trying to keep rc racing alive in Maine because there are so many good people who enjoy the same thing. That's the support we ask for. Nothing more.
As far as your commont about us learning something. You come on up to Maine and we'll see who has something to learn. Because Our track is made up of some of the best talent in the northeast. So all I can say is... BRING IT!
I guess that's enough said and we hope to see you soon. :wave:
