I stopped by today to check it out. I walked past it a couple times before I realized it was behind closed doors. It definatly makes me wish the new losi buggy was out in time to race here. It's definatly an interesting arrangement, it should be cool. Especially if they let you guys install windows to attract attention from mall patrons.

Matt, I stopped out there that nite. Dustin said that you were there over lunch. Looks pretty good, things are progressing nicely. Good luck to you guys, may have to get an offroad just to come over and run.
