No my mum and my dad do , they both race separate ( funny when my mum beats my old man ) grown up all my life round racing pigeons , I've never raced but kept homers for training pointing dogs , I will end up racing them tho at some point it's inevitable I just don't have the time space or money to do it , it's sn expensive hobby depending on what size scale you do it at 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
