Went by the mall on Friday---Grant wasn't there but I could see there's some track laid down. Looking forward to some impromtu trials/tests maybe next week Grant??? The store is right outside Sears on the second floor. Just hit the corner of Sears --walk in past the Police Dept. and up the escalator --- head for Sears and you'll see 1/28th raceway on your left in the corner next to-----Sears!!
Looking forward to racing with ya---come on out and play!!!!

I had an awesome time @ rcx this past weekend.....despite having a DNF due to a steering wheel stop breaking...i definitely had the car to win...my fastest lap of the weekend being an 8.3 as i think i was able to do a 8.4 in the one of the heats i think....i was able to TQ @52 laps in 8:2.......seconds or something like that....
the track had good grip..... i felt good going in to the main but got anxious going into the first turn off the start an stuffed it allowing chad nelson to get by which was the biggest mistake i had made all weekend
the next few laps were easy to put together an i was immediately on the tail of chads pancar and in typical grant style i got pushy....trying to force the pass but chad kept the door shut....i saw a brief moment that he opened the door and i stuffed it in but chad shut the door on me and i stuffed it in to the wall
as i backed up and turned out i felt it..... that little bit of give in the steering wheel when i turned it to the left......and a few laps later i was able to get in to the lead but i have to turn left with care.... and then it happened SNAP....that was it.....i tried to go on but i just couldnt get it done.....i was all over the track.... so i pulled off in turn 1 and called it a day
it is all a learning experience.... lookin foward to the next one
