RC Cars

Had a nice blast from the past this afternoon with my nephew, Zig.
Watched some radio controlled car races put on by the local hobby shop
in Petaluma, CA. They hold races every 2nd and 4th Saturday in the
parking lot near Trader Joe's ( the hobby shop is there too, but since
I don't know its name or location Trader Joes is the next best
landmark). Anyway, most of the racers were adults, probably a little
older than me, so it really was a blast from the past. Guess they
never gave it like I did after middle school. Most of these cars were
gas powered, much faster and sturdy than the plastic Yamiya (?) cars I
used to build/race. They did have some smaller scale cars like mine
though. The coolest thing was they had transponders in each car so
they could auto count laps. These races were about how many laps one
can complete in a given time.
