I get back to the states in august and I'm headed out to Offutt AFB, just south of Omaha Nebraska. There's a really nice looking carpet track right there and I plan on tearing it up with my BMI 1/12 car.

Matt. Are you racing over there? I was in the Phillipines for three years and there was some great racing there. Of course that was a LONG time ago, when Clark AFB was still there!

take care
john

I was able to race sedan a couple of weeks ago. I can't race every week though, just the bus fares there and back ran me about $75. I plan on racing a couple more times at some different tracks just to be able to say I did it. I'm currently undeafeted in Korea, 1 for 1 baby!

Matt - WOW, $75 for a bus. That's terrible. Gus the 10 cent jeepney rides in the P.I. was a deal!

Florida boys - As much trash talking as there is on the internet bet being at the races is a blast !!!! GAME ON!!!!

Sorry to chime in Jason!

Four cell is faster in a race with alot of corners! Now if your all out drag racing then maybe!




Hey Jason get that 12 scale ready. I 'll be comming over there frequantly after the REEDY race to get ready for the Nats!

hey guys,took the 1/12th out today and that thing was dialed once again.i tq'ed and took 1st in the A.car was unreal.i ran the fastest lap of the day too.
i also think that the 1/12th class is expanding down here.about 5 guys are going to be getting them just from watching them run today. i let a bunch of guys run my car and they fell in love with it within 2 laps.
