jilles: the MTCC race was great. had a good turnout (see the results in the Manila forums here in rctech) which what made it a great event for us. It was a bit tiring personally since i basically organized and ran the race but there were guys who were there always willing to lend a helping hand during the race like Ralph, Ronchie, Greg and the other guys. Its always hard to race and race direct at the same time but it was all worth it seeing the guys enjoy the race and we got great support from the local hobby shops in terms of prizes. Maybe next time you can join just for the fun of it.
As for TITC, I am still not 100% on that. But I really wanna go. Just have to work out my schedules here as it's difficult to leave work just like that.... but we'll see! Good to hear all is good with you new family! Yes, all the lack of sleep is always worth it!
