60D's only wear fast if you're doing something wrong... Plus they run better the more they wear! With the right setup, and proper tire rotation, you'll get the summer out of a set.

I don't think I've bought anything but S Grips in 6 years.

Well I'm not on the "add sand" side of the fence here... and I don't think John will be either....

Hell I almost got pistol whipped for suggesting we buy grape soda!

If you're thinking about 60 D boobies, I'd be very scared.
They likely come with 60in hips and an 80in waistline! :

Default MIDLAND BEACH REPAIRS FOR RACING!

Recently there have many questions as to the repairs of midland beach racetrack, here are a few answers I received from the parks dept.

When can we expect the track at midland beach to be repaired/repaved or fixed by the parks dept?
Answer Not in the near future/ no funds are set for the repairs there, those wishing to use this track will have to do all repairs and maintenance.

SIRCCC / Staten Island Radio Control Car Club is responsible for the RC
racetrack and it's maintenance, A few members and myself try to keep this going, In order to continue the racing and avoid the track from falling apart we must increase membership to raise funds to repair it, I belive it's not fair to ask other races that do not live on staten island/ that don't use the track on regular to contribute, those who do enjoy the track and live on Staten Island I encourage you to join the club $20 yearly fee+donations helps out alot. Brownie's has his hands full with the shop and I would like not to discomfort them with the collection of these fees or donations, you can contact me or leave a message at the shop for me Ray Batista or just email.

Next on the agenda is this wheather that has not let us seal the track or get started, we also have in our possesion more yellow rail for the other end of the track that needs to get put in. Hopefully when the wheather will improve.

Best wishes, Ray see ya soon!

Keep up the hard work and dedication, Ray. You know what they say, it takes a village to raise a .......track?
