Default Hello from a newb

Hi, I'm new here. I'm Chip Garlock, and I'm getting my son Taylor (8yrs) into R/C racing. I live in Dalton and didn't even know we had a track until a co-worker saw it and mentioned it to me. . Googled Dalton Raceway and found this place too. SWEEEEEET
We bash around a backyard track with my old RC10B2 Stealth and his T4. Looks like I need to save some coin and get him in the Slash class at Dalton Raceway.

Race's almost every Saturday although you may need an umbrella and a snorkel this weekend.

Lil DRC, It was a pleasure talking to you. You guys have a great thing going over there. The track is sick! You guys really should put up some pics.

Thats what I was afraid of. Its gonna take some work for our setups to last 5 or 7 minutes. My son is gonna have to learn to release his death grip on the throttle before he'll do much other than keep the spotters busy.
