I was actually referring to the D12 V2. But your comments do ring true. I probably get too much gratification from my personal "victories". But alas...they are victories, none-the-less.
I'll get a chance to put my meager skills to the test come Thanksgiving. We have some top-notch racers around here. Not as many as you see @ "The Gate" or "CEFX", but definately some good competition.
P.S.- When did you get a chance to see the XLR8?
