Was driving through Strasburg, VA on U.S. 11 - and Strasburg Hobbies caught my eye…read more Stopped in to check out the place. They have several interesting and somewhat unique elements that I've not encountered at other hobby shops: (1) They have constructed a steep rock adorned grade to radio controlled cars and trucks to attempt to navigate; (2) They have a long dedicated drag strip for side-by-side drag strip racing; (3) There is a large oval slot car track in the back for slot car racing. Not sure what the size/gauge cars the track is for. It's clearly for larger than AFC style/size cars. Looked to see what they had in the way of O-gauge train cars. They don't currently stock much of that - but they offered up that they can order stuff, The guy running the place was nice. Cool shop! Check them out! #StrasburgHobbies

I will generally drive the road courses when I'm out because it's all driver-vs-track with up to seven other contests going on at roughly the same time... high banks mean high speed and the Gerding King road course is both. even the main straight is tilty! thought my car was going to slide off the track when I set it down on orange; it was moving sort of slideways and hanging on the guide as I started my first lap because the tilt is that aggressive! felt totally out classed and way out of my league for a long minute... but that brief bit of uncertainty makes Mach 1 stand out for me and the need to stay fast all the way around builds character - the skill part is knowing when to "fast" and when to brake. drags and ovals are generally better with a couple other racers to taunt and tease and are usually populated by a dedicated and friendly group on race day. circle track racers are a peaceful and happy people, but like all 'cults' it can take up a good deal of your time and resources ;-) Mach 1 has what it takes to get you on the track and keep you there: they have rentals to get you started or you can pick up ready to drive or build-it-yourself cars in your choice of styles and colors, plus parts and accessories to personalize whatever it is you decide to run. I have a basic factory built that can mostly keep up. I'm not likely to win any serious competition but I'm on the track here and there and elsewhere primarily for the adventure...

Despite getting distracted by a dog she recognized (lol!), she was quick to greet us and ask if she could help us find anything. She later noticed me quizzically looking at a book and asked again if she could help me. I voiced what I was thinking at that point (because it was a very specific thought about the Italian author), and she researched the answer for me. I then asked a couple other questions, grabbed some books to purchase, and then chatted for a bit. I love that bookstores like this still exist! She also offers 10% off new books, so that's awesome too. And in the age of Covid, book-themed masks are available to purchase - they're located at the front of the store. You can find a bunch of different genres here, and both new and used titles. It's a small but mighty shop, and I'm so glad to have stumbled into it. Future trips to Staunton will have to include visits to The Book Dragon!

The used photography gear is not terribly well organized, but if you're willing to dive in and brave the dust, you can find some real vintage gems. They stock newer stuff as well, including all the current Canon EOS DSLR bodies, along with a decent selections of lenses. They always seem to have a staff member knowledgeable about photography in the store; yesterday, I passed a good half hour talking shop with the man behind the counter, and walked away with a new lens at a respectable price. Their other inventory is eclectic, to say the least, but it's the kind of place to go for something unusual. I vacation in this area nearly every summer, and a stop at Glens is always on my itinerary.

Their website tells me that the Crozet Artisan Depot offers handmade items from over 70 artisans in the region. Wow, that's terrific. Though I browsed through plenty of awesome things, I ended up getting some goat milk soap from Wynott Farm and some funky chocolates from Cocoa & Spice. There's also a tourist area in the back with brochures and a staffer ready to assist in case you need some recommendations for attractions and activities. A restroom is available nearby too. The Depot is, fittingly enough, located in an old historic train depot. It has a small parking lot attached to it, though I observed some people parking in there and walking across the street which didn't seem too kosher.

Communication is so simple and shows customers that you care about their business. I always try to patronize local shops, but this time the chain store down the road got my business. Even though we visit this area twice a year, I can't see myself trying this one again either.
