No, the Paragon gets mixed in the fuel for that great winter-green smell all day long.

It looked like there was a small crowd there this Saturday practicing. My servos will be in this week and I can make my first runs on the Z-car. Hope it was worth the 150.00 I paid for it.......

Hey guys, i started a thread on DODC. It turns out that Illinois is one of the top R/C Dirt Oval States! Awesome racing in this state! Ill be swithcing from Redline to Maryville to SMAC and to Big Bills. And also hit some ONS (Outlaw Nitro Series) and WCIPS (West Central Illinois Point Series) races this year. And dont forget the legendary Big Bills Money Race in August. A 2-day race with the top drivers from all over the midwest showing up! The best event i ran last year!!! Highly recommend that race!!!

Heres the thread:
