Going back to my roots with 2wd and 4wd. I am pretty excited!

I am looking forward to showing the world what a Banzai/Slingshot powered Kyosho car can do!

Mom-- Slingshot was techincally my first sponsor but you guys were very close behind. I could not have gotten here without you guys and I greatly appreciate all the help and support you have given me. Since I missed round one I can hardly wait to get this series started!

Casper great job and good luck with kyosho you deserve it.

Congrats Casper.

Oh- and you guys shouldn't need parts...
2 weeks with mine, MY driving 'tactics', and a little downtown pounding..
have resulted in NO broken parts

Turnbuckles could use a little help, Or is that me

??
I have bent a couple on the 'test runs'

Congrats again, Casper

Sounds like you got a lot of fun nights ahead

For me, building them is almost as much fun as racing them

Can't wait to read how you do with the new rides this weekend

I like to have a little more time before I have to race my new cars for "real" if you know what I mean but I look forward to building the new cars. I have a couple nights to get it done. I help Ryan D. put together his ZX5 and it went together really nice so it should be good. The kits look awesome! We will see if I can do them justice for the first round!

Congrats Casper...of course!!!!

I will get a pretty good setup for Casper and I before this weekend. I got the 4 wheel mostly there, a few more minor tweaks and it will be even more amazing.

I should get the 2 wheel on the track by Thursday night and will get that handled as well.

The gas race was interesting. We were all very tired and the track was very rough/blown out. But it was a fun layout. A little more maintenance would ahve been nice but its all good. Same track for everyone. I ran the 777wc for the first time, once I finally got the bugs out of it and got a few minor tweaks on it, it was pretty good. I need a little more time with it of course considering I have all of like 5 runs on it now. But I was CQ, bumped to the B, got 9th in the B. Casper was 4th in the C I believe.
