Funny thing is I couldn't find pink shrink tube so I used baby blue for pink and I use green for gold. What a stir that caused at the track. I got questions from "did kyosho come out with new springs" to "did you have custom springs made". Anyway I enjoy watching them squirm for about an hour til I let the cat out of the bag.

The best one I have seen was a one of our sponsored drivers (who is a good guy and spends countless hours helping the rest of us out) brought a bottle of tire sauce in an unmarked bottle with tape all around it like he was hiding the brand of what he was using. At the end of the night he drank the remaining portion, it was just water to clean tires.
