Absolutely. Seeing people at the model/slot car shows (the hobby is not as small as you might think, it just depends on your location) is a BIG part of the FUN for me. Seeing the same people (and their kids), and making new friends is a good way to see what people are doing in the hobby, and what they like about it. Yeah, it's great to have a good sales day when vending, but I've come home after spending as much as I made during the day - and I'm completely satisfied! For me, person to person live shows beats internet sales any day, if you don't make it all about the money. Long as I cover my travel/show costs, I'm good.
Slot car racing and model car building - the whole point is to have FUN!
See ya at the shows around the northeastern US. -- Enjoy! -- Ernie :>)
