Well regardless of the end result I had a great time racing. I am pleased though that I held on to second position for most of the race duration.


Yeah I guess I did forget about some of the sponsers

There're a lot like ours, with the exception of you leaving the door open for racers to run with centax/slider or adjustable clutches, buggy/truggy chassis mount wings and driver assisted electronics = D-Boxes.

Other than that, you’re getting close to something solid there.
Good luck with that.

My bone stock DM1 spec weighs in at 8.3 lbs out of the box we should start there. Whats the GT2 car weigh in at out of the box?

The Diamond racers are going to represent "GT Racing" @ the next Brooklyn Party!



I already spoke to LOSI...and here's what I was told...and I Quote..."we don't have any plans to make on-road racing cars"...end Quote... whatever...I'll make em'!


D. if I crashed you, I apologize, that's not the way I race winning or losing, period! I know we were tight in that turn...even asked a few people if I did hit you and they said I didn't, but like I said, If I did, you got it bro!
though.

Its cool that the way the car crumbles sometimes I could taste victory though You were given the sweeps guys hell and gashuffer was right you were the faster car at the diamond your car was pretty dialed in. I'm glad blue diamond regulars held down the top three spot. The sweeps guys came in like they meant business. But we held our own your Losi is sick.


Let me be the first one to bridge the EAST & WEST gap and say I never met you before but Congrats on your WIN + you gave props to your PIT MAN!!! that almost never gets done but he's almost more important than a fast driver!maybe one day we'll have the chance to clock some laps in the same spot!


...see...that's what I'm talkin' bout!

I'll post this in other threads...
