I hate to say it but you can't count me in that list. My VTA car probably won't be ready but that is the minor thing.

I just found out there have been layoffs while I was on vacation. I have to...

I think Rod has a lot of good points. As most of you know, I am an "old-guy" racer who came back to RC after being away for a couple of decades. Those old oval skills didn't translate well to on-road...

Chris,
I'm with you on the WGT. I bought a CRC Gen-X 10 on RCTech and it should ship the 27th and arrive after I get back from vacation. Give me a week or two to get it fixed up and I'll be ready to...

Yeah, you're right. Better to take the time to do it right the first time.

I agree with your recommendation. The track surface at the C is very flat which lends itself to laying the carpet directly on the asphalt. Two or Three weeks of use should show whether a sub-floor is...

The size is one of the things that I like about the HobbyTown USA track. It is large enough for just about any 1/10th class except mod perhaps. There is a nice chance to balance between technical &...

Did I return the TA05 steering arm you loaned me last Saturday [I think]?

My spare parts order arrived so I have plenty now and can return it [unused] if I have not already done so.

Despite a light turn out, the racing was good tonight. I ran my M06 and it was just as much fun as I had running it in the Mini Brawl. Nice relaxed racing with good people. Thanks Ed for making it...
