Hey,
Could I make a requst to anyone at the nats?
Can someone snap a pic of Billy Easton's car w/ the body on? I've been wondering if hes still running his "clear windoed Associated RTR" scheme or not since hes running a Yoke now.

However, two key things:
1) The folks here are doing a great job, better than most hobby shop staffs. As an example, the driver's stand (which is actually a trailer so they can take it from site to site) is excellent.
2) The club here in Portland also does a great job of publicizing the sport. They actually managed to get a TV news crew here this morning who showed a split screen of one camera following some cars and another one from a helicopter overhead.

In non-race news, to those who were asking I fixed the R/C Tech home page so it no longer is displaying a bunch of errors. Something crashed last night and when it came back up the script was dead. I also fixed the problems people were having with certain browsers on that page (although there are still many others all over the site that I haven't had a chance to fix).
Controlled practice is underway right now. I still haven't even mounted a body for my car, too much to do. Dunno if I'll hit the track at all! haha
