Europeans race in the rain,and on polished wood floors-american racers won't give up their tire sauce.

The biggest threat to the sucess of on-road racing........is on-road racers.
Whoever thinks you are stealing from the hobby for having an old car needs thier head looking at.

You can gurantee those guys are minted and chummy with the model shop. I dont mind people who shell out thousands on RC becasue i would love to. I do mind however when they look down on the people who don't have all the kit. Most of the guys with all the kit are crap anyway. They do their driving sat in their chair talking bullshit to other racers about the latest lightweight diff or a new type of bearing that is "so much better than the old ones".

So yeah, whoever is like that needs a lesson in "how to not be a prick".

It annoys me so much when you get "elite" racers. Arghhh :@
