to be honest i really enjoy it, and it costs no more than racing model cars once your set up! We used to race model cars prior to racing autograss cars:P

I used to do that in the 70s, called it Stockcar Racing then. I was in the Mod Stocks, raced a very modified Ford 105E. Great fun!!Got a photo here but it is way too big and I can't make it less pixels!
