The dirt Casey brought in at BTRC was puurrrrrrfect. It's a shame things didn't work out.

It may not be quite the same but I loved running 1/8 scale indoors at CH. Sure it's smokey but when nitro is in you veins who cares if it's in your lungs too.

Unfortunately neither Competition Hobbies or Hobby Town is handicap accessible so I don't see too many road trips from us in the near future. Even if CH fixes the lift on the stairs, the drivers stand doesn't have a cut out to drive from. Kenny is going to have shoulder surgery soon from an injury while trying to race at CH last time.

And before it becomes an issue next year when it's too late, no track will be able to host a winter series race if it's not 100% handicap accessible.

If I can't race with my homie I don't want to go.
Wow!!! I had no idea that Kenny got hurt while here. I am so sorry.
I don't blame you guys for not wanting to come back after the last time. I will talk to CH and see if they are willing to make the appropriate changes to the driver stand.
Trevor, you are right, CH is a lot of fun, I would really like to see you guys come down more often, you are almost like family.

See you on Saturday at the PIT!!

Colin

We all have had many great races at these tracks !!! More tracks the better IMO, It's hard to support them all , Hobbytown is where I began racing and is very close to my house, so I spend more time there, but they all need work to be as great as The Nitro Pit !!!!!!!!!! Man just think back to the time Tucson 1/8 racers didnt even know about racing 1/8 in phx , we have it very good now !!! Keep racing!!!

What Trevor posted about the Tucson bunch is so true! For me, seeing you guys make the trip is still a rush no matter if we're at the Pit, Papago, SRS, or wherever. I remember William and Eric even driving up for wednesday night worlds at Hobby Action! Thank you to all the Tucson drivers for all your efforts, you guys can drive!!!

ill be there too!! it will be nice to see you colin. the clown sucks but ive been racing the b4 there and it is fun. get rid of one eighth scale and get an electric to race in between big races. save some money and still get the fix. i dont save that much because the 3.5 tells me i can make that jump but still have a good time.

Hobbytown was a nice change, pretty laid back, it was a really differant track than what I normally run, Kinda like the old Revalations, those steel poles (Or anything I could even remotely collide with) made me nervous, but by the end of the night, it turned out all right, I was hanging with my Bro, Having fun, for me it is more about having fun, I like a place that lets you run what ya brung, The hand count had me confused, other than that, I was happy to race there, I would really love to go to CH when it is 110 plus frikkin degrees, have the earplugs ready and the A/C Blasting!!! See you guys soon!
