Great day/nite of racing. Everyone was running really well. I'm glad to say that the MI2 ran as good as it did seeing that everyone else in Pro Sedan had new cars. Guess I'm next.

Hope to see everyone Next week. And Wes I bought new tires before I left so U better be READY

Thanks steve. Good to be back. As for a new car I'm acually thinking about getting the Kyosho TF-5 Shaft car or the EC. Not 100% yet.

Over priced and Kyosho stuff is and has always been very difficult to get for over 20 years and I just don't see that changing. It is still way easier to get Schumacher, HPI, Hot Bodies, Xray, or a few other luxury touring cars. You thought no one had Schumacher stuff wait til you get a Kyosho car. Hate to see you spend so much cash and have troubles getting the stuff you need to keep it going.

I agree with Brian. When I worked at my local hobbyshop, it would take on average of six months to get a part. And then it was wrong half the time.

Thanks WYD. I know Kyosho parts are hard to find, but Kyosho america is trying to change that and my LHS deals with them directly like they do with Schumacher.

And yes I know it's dumb but I like haveing a different car than everyone else at the track. Thats one of the reasons why I have ran a Schumacher for over 5 years. I was all ways the only one at the track with one no matter where I raced at. No I'm not trying to sound like a butthead but now there are more guys that come to the C with Schuie's. So now I feel like it's tyme for me to change brands. And in the past I raced Kyosho Buggies in Vineland NJ. from 1991 to 1994. I'm keeping my MI2 because it still works for me but I want to see how the Kyosho feels. That and the Yokomo BD cost too much, the TF-5 shaft car is only $400.

Default Holiday Point Series Race 1 Results

The results of the first race in the Holiday Point Series is now on the website at www.htufrederickmd.com/HPS1.htm.

Sorry it took so long - This was a busy day. I will try to be more punctual.

One more thing - Unless a good argument is PMd to me, races next week will start at 2 PM. First heat at 2, second at 3, third at 4 and Mains at 5:30. I do not see any need to have 15 minutes added each time. I could be wrong about the time it takes to recharge a battery, so set me straight if needed. We got out very late and I missed my date with my wife at 7.

Bob I think if you look around some you can find some really nice used Yoke BD's from time to time. I think Ollhipster has one or had one for sale not too long ago. Nice car but not much support again.

Hey Bob no one likes to run different cars than me but even though Jimmy can get Kyosho parts direct from Kyosho don't be fooled about getting parts easily. Bad thing is if they are out your done for what could be months. At least with your Schumacher many places carry their parts other than just Schumacher USA. I know you like asphalt and Schumacher cars so I would get the MI2 EC as it is even nicer than the MI2 trust me.
