As far as TC's go, yup, back where I started. Not being sponsored anymore, I had my pick of what to run. The TC5 just seemed like the most solid and cost effective car to run. In all honesty I would have liked to go with an Xray, but their tendency to release a new car every 10 months or so and trying to get parts at twice the cost really was what kept me from going that way.

Damn, caught me a day late. Just ordered a new chassis and some other parts last night. Oh well. It was only $40. And I'll have a back up. I'll see what you have Saturday. I won't have the car yet, but I think I'm going to be running Ray's Cyclone while he's running the races.

Well that's why I was away from TC's for over a year. I hadn't had to pay for or pay full price for anything since 2004. Back then a good kit was $275 and cells were $60 a pack and it just seemed like you didn't need as much stuff. When I left Schumacher I picked up a Serpent and quickly realized how much it can cost and how hard it can be to run a European touring car at full price. It was an eye opener. I can't wait until my car comes in and I get to run again.

My Sponsor
I got The best sponsor (The Wifey) she gives me 50 bucks every week that's it, lunch money is included and I bought all my RC stuff listed below from that sponsor money. That'y why I'm sticking with my sponsor. LOL
