Hot Bodies makes nice stuff, maybe HPI will get on-board and make some of the very cool bodies they are known for!

I've always liked HPI lids, they usually always pre-cut the stickers for you. (nice)

I'll take a 3rd Gen Trans Am if requests are being made.

Even though I was only able to make it on Sunday I had a great time racing with you all. We had a super turnout for the GT8 class!!!

Things got interesting as temps dropped for Mains and everybody was trying to decide which tires would work best. It's definitely looking like the PMTs work best in hotter conditions while the Sweeps are better when it's colder.

Yes that was fun I ran with the PMT but I had tire warmers so they work great. I wish I could just have gotten through traffic better to catch Tony.

Well I'm proud to say that I have locked in last place in this class. Maybe in 2011 some of you guys will have to courage to unseat me as the reigning king LOL.

Joking aside, I had a blast and learned a lot. Thank you goes out to Charlie B for a top notch event and Dan K, Jai, Steve SNR & Tony for the generous help and support.

Been awhile since I posted on the Tech.

Had a great time in the GT8 class. Man, some of those cars out there were WICKED fast! I'm definitely underpowered! Thanks to Jai I was able to get the Losi L8ght Model conversion working. Plan is to strip her down and get to tweaking the diffs and shock oil. I still think it's got alot of unlocked potential left in it!

Raman, your car looked much better in the main. Soon as I get a better handle on this 1:8 deal we'll start getting your car in shape. Much easier to drive when it's working well.

Fun race Steve. Like I said Sunday, gotta race the track and the traffic. Could happen to anyone in the lead, ya know? Good race though. You got that OFNA hooked up.
