Honestly, if the carpet track near me that is opening goes strong with 12th attendance, I'm selling my TC stuff. Nothing feels better than wheeling a 12th ... well almost nothing.
Older cars can still be very competitive. The only problem is that a new XL is under 200.00 dollars so you really don't save a whole lot of money.

My car is the original GenX. Last year I got the brushless pod conversion for it and this year a friend got me the XL conversion as a christmas present so I got upgraded for free

If not for that, it would have been better to just buy the new car.
