That "guy" was my brother. There are two sides to every story. The reason he was going nuts is because "Brian" used racial slurs on him and threatened to beat him up after the race. He referred to my brother as a f***ing Mexican, etc. My brother called him on it and went too far in the process.

Its cool.
Blade, I don't really know what happened on the driver's stand, but I did see you brother yell everything in the book at Brian and he calmly walked away, which was a good thing for all. I too am a hispanic and I have know Brian for years and he is one of the best guys around. I am sorry your brother had some issues and maybe it was just a misunderstanding. I hope your next time out things go better. Peace.

My brother is normally a subdued guy, but he's not going to put up with that kind of talk. Our team was made up of rookies, guys. There was nothing in the rules that said "pro drivers" or "experienced only". My brother is the greenest of us all. The lack of sportsmanship directed toward our team was very disappointing. If we had know the competition was mainly "pro drivers" we would never have entered.

I have been hit with the flu bug again!! 
Or, maybe it's a cold, whatever, I'm working at a
snails pace!
So if I'm slow answering your
emails, be patient, I'll get to it.
Casper, we don't have a Slash, maybe you could give
Drew a few pointers?? Or is it basically just out of the box
and run it??

I don't have one either. I was driving Hodapp's. There is not a lot you can do to them. I know shock oil was changed an we added some weight to the back end.
Just drive it. They are easy to drive and have some fun. That is what the class is all about.

Setup question
Hi Casper. I was really impressed with the way your Slash handled. It was the Blue one with the Kyosho sickers, right? What wt. shock oil did you guys use for front and back. Was it 50 wt./40 wt.?

Oh come on now Zack. Haven usually has a 'decent' track to offer.

Hey guys,
We just finished 4wd day of the Australian National Titles. Team Banzai was well represented, Puddle finished 8th in Stock and Rick Austin finished 2nd in Super Stock(19t). I took out all 4 rounds of qualifying and the first two A-finals in Super Stock. Id like to thank all of Banzai again for all the support they've shown me over the past year, and hopefully tommorow will be another great day.
