What cheap buggy to race?

[anson]

hey guys I am really thinkin about getting into racing, but I have no where to race my 18T so I am considering getting a cheapish 2wd buggy to race at my local track (5minutes away!) They race electric mainly so I would be looking at a RTR or something, don't want to spend that much initially as I am not sure if I will be able to race very seriously at this stage. What do you experienced guys have to tell me? Here is what their race regulations are http://www.chrcorcc.com/racingdetails.asp

castle hill is for more for the pro drivers. they have a very novice class which might make you feel left out if youre starting out. its a bit of a way out from anywhere unless you live in Kellyville <smirk>

i found two tracks a bit closer was St Ives at the St Ives showgrounds and Sydney RC in Ryde - both have a populated novice class. The boys at Sydney RC were keen to take on a new driver, and assist to with my first race meet.

Sydney RC races every weekend, St Ives races 2nd and 4th sunday of each month

ok thanks for that, I might head over to the Castle Hill track as it really is just down the road from me. I'll see what it is like, I have been to a TC race night and that was pretty serious.
