Yes, for the meeting we will have to meet in the track area rather than in the Casino as there will be a minor present.

So... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we don't have 50 rigs all deciding to need service all on Sunday!

If you look at our shop right now, all the rigs are broke down so you should be all right.

I wasn't happy with it for a couple of reasons.

1. As expected from an RB engine, the power output was rather mild. The truck is heavy and needs more jam!

2. The engine liked to run hotter than I like. It required some careful tuning to get a reasonable amount of power while not overheating the engine.

I've found the P3 to be much easier to tune and the power output is great. It's a shame because the RB is such a beautifully crafted engine. The P3 really is a step down in quality, but it performs better ... not what one would expect based on common logic.

I know we will have room for a little guy in our truck. We will also have room for RC stuff. You can PM me your address and the pick up time if you wish.

Well i for one have driven that behemoth and as strange as it may be the truck handles very well and the power from the Picco does very well.. even though it is a Savage its going to be a competitor on the track for sure.

Gregg? Are you bringing your 18T?
