Hey Snowy if you have some or could take some, please send them or post them up please

and if anybody has any pics from HPI prizes, please post them as well...they seem to be missing
Myron I hate that I don't have the HPI prize pics. Honestly I don't remember taking any. Don't know if I was out of the building or what when you went through the HPI stuff. As well as I can recall the photo numbers are consistent so it doesn't look like I have pics missing. I did delete a bunch of action shots since 90% of them turn out blurry, but that would not effect the prize portraits.

I thought you were not allowed to cross the state line. As per the Judges order.

http://teamassociated.com/news/annou...Reedy_Products


At the recent USVTA Southern Nationals, event and track promoter Myron Kinnard recognized Ken Pepe for 30 years of using Team Associated and Reedy products. Many brands and many drivers have come and gone over the past 30 years, but Ken has been true and committed to the product line that Team Associated has offered.

Through many friendships, and many race wins, Ken is always a "most popular" driver around the on-road scene. Team Associated would like to extend a warm "thank you" to Ken for representing the brand with dignity and being a fine ambassador to the hobby as a whole. We wish Ken good luck, and as always, a lot of fun for the next 30 years to come!

hey all...I know this might be a stretch, but what were most guys running for FDR in USGT? I'm trying to see if I can get enough gear in my TA05v2

I realize it could change depending on the layout Dirla does for 2014, but would love to get a ballpark so I know if my chassis would work

I got 4th and I think I ran 3.6-3.7 range. Motors and track size very so I would say 3.5-4.0 range for USGT.

I know some people were running 3.2 in USVTA at that race.

yeah, I know that its all dependent on which motor you're running, what kind of layout is down, etc etc etc

just curious to see if I can get my Tamiya in the ballpark for gearing

I've run that low of a FDR in my USVTA car before a good fan helps
