I thought that I used the right emoticons to show my sarcasm. Oh well. I guess you can't please everyone. I'm not hatin' on anyone. It's been great hearing Mike's opinion on set-ups and I wish him the best of luck.

Probably not, it seems that teams are only getting smaller not bigger. I would say that he can find a team, but honestly he probably could not just name his price so to say. I think that he will land on a great team and will be right up in the mains at the next big race the question will be where?

He is talking to teams so I would bet that we will hear something in the next few weeks.

With the recent success of the Serpent car it would be cool to see him go there. TOP already has some great drivers, Xray seems to be pretty full with talent, AE has been doing well but his presence could boost the entire team over the top. It sure is interesting and will be fun to watch, but I am sure it is not as fun for Mike until he finds a new home.

I will be glued to my mouse until this gets resolved!

this sucks cause the mi3 is often under estimated due to its lack of factory pro drivers

IMO once PW left it was all down hill from there. I never got to run the MI3 though. I left the team right during it's final stages of production.

Who knows what lies ahead, but any sponsored racer takes their time to negotiate a deal that feels right for them and the sponsor.

You have to like the products and feel right representing them

I heard that both Mike and Toso will be piloting the new BMI DB10TC. This car will revolutionize the way 1/10 scale cars are built. Spy photos to follow shortly.
