    OTHER IDEAS
    —  Visit the 1/32 // 1/23 club that has a track in the back of Houston’s Katy Slot Cars
    —  R/C races in the parking lot of the dentist shop next to the locksmith shop.  Members can bring in their RCs or we can go El piloto with some $40 Toys-R-Us or radio-shack cars
    —  As a group, go to the RC races at HobbyTown at Parmer/Mopac
    —  As a group, go to the model train expo (in Jan/Feb at the Parmer center)
    —  As a group, attend Austin model rocket launches in Taylor  (springtime)
    —  As a group, race digital Nascar (rent the cars) at Races2U, then beer pizza and pool next door at the pool hall.

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
