Bat, It seems for a long time, there was never enough people to get together and make something happen as far as large scale racing, but since then there is a group of guys located
here that has started to organize such events nationally.
I look forward to racing guys out of LA like CC Racings crew, or the guys out of Cali, Miami or where ever, I think this is a good thing for the hobby, I also see there serious by taking on Doug from ESP to help organize these events.
So the bottom line is, if you don't mind traveling a bit, or check with your loacl 5th scale clubs to see if they are hosting any of the events,, these types of races are going to be huge!'
Anyway, check it out, I don't see the actual season calander up yet, but it will be annouced soon I'm told.
Just wanted to give you a heads up!
Good luck
