good interview with Scott Hughes, here is one question:
MyRCBox.com: What has RC racing taught you over the years?
Scott Hughes: I think it's taught me how to be patient and persistent. You have to have a ton of patience when running those long A-mains or conducting test sessions. Although I said I don't practice much these days, there was a time when I worked on my rc cars or raced 7 days a week. Persistency has paid off and it took a good 10 years to get to a point where I could throw my car down and be competitive without much practice at all.
Practice practice practice gents, and PATIENCE is a virtue.

It took me almost 2 years of racing before I could identify what my car wasn't doing AND make a set up change that actually worked!
Its going to be Gas Truck and 2wd Mod for me Sunday. The BJ4 I bought won't be here until next week.

Hmmm, weather not looking good for Sunday either? Higgins and I would hate to drive all that distance only to have it rain out 
I hate Pennsylvania.
Yeah Ed, it took me awhile to learn that also, but the biggest thing is having the correct tires and building your setup around those tires....

The weather has been uncooperative to say the least over the last 3-4 weeks. This might change, but the latest predictions are for some light rain Sunday morning then clearing up in the afternoon. If thats accurate, we'll probably get the race in.
Let's all collectively hope for some good weather this weekend.
