Road course auto racing is a slightly expensive hobby......and I'm not talking stockcar, drag racing, dirt track or most left turn only racing. I got out of auto racing years ago (1974) when a good race prepared engine cost about the price of 10 or 12 brass locomotives and only lasted for a few races before it had to be torn apart, inspected and possibly rebuilt at the cost of a few more locomotives. Model railroading is also a much safer hobby, you don't spend a week or more in the hospital getting all your body pieces realigned if you flip a model locomotive going into a turn fast. :|
