The early bird catches the worm. Charlie B. has tables, chairs and canopies but it's first come first serve.

That's crazy. I don't even get to work that early. This is a hobby not a job.

How about a roll call to get an idea how many are committing to this event?

But then again, I wonder how we can get 10 nitro cars to fit on the track at Cal in one heat.

Sorry guys, you'll have to count me out.

I guess I'm getting old and lazy. Didn't get around to prep the car and the gear(starter box, igniter, tx&rx packs). Been busy with some home improvements and just wasn't up to putting in any "labors of love" for the RC habit afterwards. Maybe next month.

Default Question!
Anyone care to answer this question for me?

Why are nitro RC Cars so popular among the general public (especially with kids)?

The kids I interact with through my foundation are much more interested in the Nitro Cars. For me personally the things which appeal to me most about Nitro Cars are the things my RC Racing peers like least about Nitro Cars.

I guess I'm just a general big fun loving kid.
