Default Why Baker left Yokomo

Ok guys,
we talked about this earlier, but I got insight now on what really went down.

One major reason for Barry's departure from Yokomo was, that the new car (special) does not perform as well as the older version. Barry told Yokomo that from the release of the special on and nobody would listen.
The Yokomo team drivers are NOW allowed to either run the old or new chassis. That should tell us something.

The other big reason was that the rivalery between Barry and Chris Tosolini obviously got out of hand, to a point where they did only race each other and not the race anymore.

Barry was on a roll last year with the MR4TC pro and had a really bad year since the special came out........
