None so far but the straight is only 15' long so I run really low gearing!

Fast lap record is a 4.6, tire wear is average since we use Toledo spray for traction. Current track record is 102 laps in 5:04.26.

I might be, depends on my schedule here. Will you be attending?

In my best Strong Bad voice:

"Johnny Socko, do you know that nitro fumes can make you grow a third eye?? I hope you and Mr. Tornado Fuel aren't dumb enough to be racing toy nitro powered cars around in an enclosed area!! If you are, cool!! Can I come play too!! Yours Truely Strong Bad"

To anyone who doesn't know Strong Bad:

Change the sbemail### from 1-205...lol... 45 is a personal favorite...lol..



The CEFX site has been updated with race reports and a lot more coming soon. I'm actually home for a few weeks without another race so there should be a lot added to the site.

It's not the fumes that are a problem, I'm already goofy in the head!! It's the hearing loss that's you get. At least when the wife yells at me it's not as loud!

"And now back to our regularly scheduled program"...

Congrats to Team Shepherd USA for taking the overall points wins in the Midwest Series in both 1/8 Open and 1/8 Masters with Josh Cyrul and Eli Ezrow.

Thank you Mr. Vessels, this car is very user friendly and has some really nice features for changing set-ups rapidly. I have enjoyed running the car this year and felt very fortunate for the wins that I have accomplished with it. The parts support are second to none. Except for the very first initial parts orders that Josh had when he took over distributorship, he has always had any parts that anyone needed for the car and even designed a few through CEFX to make the car even better.
