Chris... maybe you misread. We're running mabuchi, not micro(your favorite class, btw

). Definitely no 8-cells allowed...

izzy? kevin? terence? anyone else?

"Yes, I have no Mabuchis" (cum on everyone, sing it).

The ones I had went to Kevin. What he did with `em still remain a mystery. The only Tamiya motors I have are those junky RZ "super" stock ones that I had to run at the finals.

Are you guys sure you won't let me run a D5 with yas? It's only a 10 turn. It would be the only way I could keep up with ya'll.

I really want to run the T4 in "Gearbox", but no one else sounds interested in runnin' that class. Please don't make me run the 414SS with the "jinxed" body in 19T. I'm tired of hearing people yell, "Terence, pull over and let me by".

Hey Ian, If I do run a silver can (which I doubt), I'm really not running a ten cell pack. Those extra batteries are only ballast to balance the car.

Don't forget, this Sunday is the NHRA Finals at Pomona. In other words, expect rain ! But then if your running a silver can, they are so slow that you probably still couldn't spin in the rain. Thats it, silver cans, radial tires, and 4 cell packs. Just hope there's no head wind on the front straight, the cars may go backwards.

Wow... I didn't even think about that. Dang, Jasper has the URGE to win at all cost now that Surikarn is on his side! Geez, and I'm stuck using my Evo4, the car that lost the worlds for Surikarn chadermeister(sp?)...

Izzy confirmed he's running the M class... I think he wants to get back at me for taking his silver medal in GT3.

Remember Izzy? I got 2nd, you got 3rd...

FLASHBACK TCS 2003:

And the crowd reacts "ooohhhh, hack hack hack." Then Fred on the mic goes, "Izzy, oooh bad, you got to give up your spot." (not exact words, but somewhat close)
