Is this an SWorkz sponsored driver?

Awesome news that Ryan Lutz is moving to Tekno, IMO.
I haven't really noticed, until this point, the business model, market approach that Tekno took. Some of the recent news/threads about this have just made me think about this. And, can't argue - it is working. From my perspective, they already have nailed down a pretty good club-racing scene reputation. I'm not an expert, I don't know what they did, it but they got Tekno to catch on at local club tracks across the nation. My assumption, at this point, is that they used their know-how to engineer durable, race worthy cars in all the 1/8 classes. To me, they seemed to be more prioritized on the club racer (not thinking every kit owner is going to have the skills of a world class driver, and more or less building a competitive car for the average Joe club racer, with serious potential). It also makes me think that new brands are running out trying to hire an internationally renowned driver, just to put them on the map - turns out this may not be the way to go. Tekno also seems to put some thought and reason behind their moves before doing something that is industry typical. It seems to me right now sometimes we get over-sensationalized by option parts and the latest trick setup stuff (I'm not hating - I get the option part bug just as bad as anyone else). I think as club racers, if we would spend more time focusing on proper setup, maintenance, and focus on driving. But that is just my opinion. I've only been in this hobby for 3 years, and always listen to all other's input. Ryan Lutz racing for Tekno is just icing on the cake (how many other pro's run their own website and have their own line of engines? Just sayin)! Tekno and Ryan Lutz seems like a great combination! They both have my support. Got it. Hiring a top level driver and blasting it all over the web only helps so much (I'm talking to you Kyosho! Agama! Sworkz!) |

And not back peddling... car still doesn't look good in first vid. Crazy that you guys are this tore up about it. |
That track was so dry-slick I doubt any car would look good on it.

It just never settles down, and doesn't look good in the air...
If one doesn't want to see or hear opinions one doesn't like about the things one does... one might think a little harder before posting them on the internet. |
I sure wish I had some popcorn for this conversation.........:nod:

How appropriate that this is on the Ryan Lutz thread, after hearing all the stories about how he helps people at the track who don't even run his or his sponsors equipment. How he carries himself as a professional and how he just loves the hobby and tries to help people enjoy it. |
Save the popcorn for the silly season thread... JQ just put Lutz on blast... :smile:

was your opinion about the car or the driver, hard to tell? Sure seemed to a nimrod like myself that it was basically about the driver.
I guess from here on out I will only give positive opinions about things for fear of getting anyone wrinkled up. But there was a whole page before this of people saying the Sworkz car doesn't look good... not sure why I am the martyr for that opinion. Guess cause it's at the top of a new page. cool... Honestly, I'm not sorry for saying what I did, but I am *way* over getting in internet arguments over nothing... so.... http://i8.glitter-graphics.org/pub/1...paeedw13ac.gif |

Great to hear such news about a character as positive as Lutz is. It's nice to see so many people like him and his approach to the pro-driver profession, some may say "the people's pro" :D Good luck Ryan :)
