Default I think the cops are looking for Dion

That would be my guess. I went by his new track yesterday and I'll bet he went and stole the two biggest jumps from the Atlanta stupidcross track. I'm 6 ft 2 and those things are at least eye level to me. I didn't measure the distance but it has to be 30 ft. between the peaks. And these things are VERTICAL! The track winds along around itself and is very long with a really cool (BIG) tabletop that requires a left turn on the top to exit it. The whoop section is big enough to lose a KTM 50 and it's rider. Banked turns and plenty of small jumps placed around not for air but to test suspension and nerves. You will get plenty of airtime to practice the throttle/brake control on the triple to keep the car level, you'll be in the air for a while. For the last couple of years it has been "more motor, more motor" for the nitro guys. I'm betting that will change and everyone will be suspenion experts very soon. Probably a little less like an R/C car and a little more like a carrier jet. This Sunday should be an interesting playday in Rossville.

Thats is a really nice track.

I know my RC10GT can clear that huge double if I get the grip I need. I know I can't try and triple it like the 1/8th scale was trying though.

I dug out the old, bone stock MGT, the only thing I even have for the dirt.
Going to come out and play until I break something, no spares.
