Hey all - just joined up on the forum. Still a newbie to SRS - only been racing 4 or 5 monhts in SC. Been reading some of the recent posts about pro2. When we started racing up there, there was no pro-stock class running so many drivers were put into pro2 whether they were experienced or not. Ya, it sucks to get taken out by a less experienced driver, but we all started somewhere right? I've demoted myself to pro stock 13.5 and am running consistent 10 lap races now. There are other guys still running pro2 who should do the same(2 of which are my teammates).
That said, we REALLY enjoy the track and send out a huge thanks to Keoni and his crew for providing a dedicated facility for us ALL to have fun at! Keep up the good work SRS.

I run Pro2 up there just about every club race they have out there. It can get a little frustrating to get taken out by a slower drive but being the faster driver we should be able to go around... Dont let people crying about it discourage you from coming out and having a good time as thats what we are all out there for!

Blitz and SC10 definitly handle better, Strike was meant to compete with Slashes not SC10 or Blitz. But Strike is still good to go out and have fun with. Like any Losi car, there will be a Dremel taken to it at some point.
