Just thumping a blog to test and also ask you racers the question - what puts you off from racing whether it is at club level or national level?

Please post you comments or thoughts below. Thank you.

I was just a bit bored today and surfing a bit when I found this old but interesting article because it reminded me old days gone by when I was totally addicted to the "Wipeout" game on my old PS1. 

A german chap, Malte Jehmlich, who created an interactive video game installation featuring a racing arcade, rc cars and a lot of cardboard taped and stapled together.

A vehicle yes, a car no! A truck is not a car and I've never heard a six-year-old say "Hey daddy look! Its a big, jumping car!" when she sees a colourful metal box on four huge rubber tyres do a jump (Big Foot). And so this brings me to websites and magazines with the word "car" in their titles and then talks, publishes about anything but cars.

Righto, this is really going bad. First I notice that I'm spending more and more time surfing with web for less and less OnRoad nitro news, then I now discover that my local club only allows nitro for 2 hours in a 24 hour period.

In between these two "problems" though I'm also noticing that my favourite RC magazine (Xtreme RC)  which used to have so much OnRoad stuff in both nitro and electric focussed solely on buggies, truggies and general airborne RC stuff in their May 2010 issue.

It looks as if there is no coincidence that I flap a lot about Top Gear bits despite my intentions of keeping 3hobby.net purely RC on-road nitro racing focussed website. Well, Top Gear just got voted as the Greatest Show of the Noughts (decade) and many congratulations to the mad thrio petrolheads!

What is amazing is that, I happen to start nitro racing some time in the year 2000, so it is ironic that it is a decade about cars.
