"Yup, my newest sponsor. I've heard of them for a couple years but only recently was given an opportunity to try their products. I've been using one of their 7.5 motors in my buggy. It's lightning quick (I should really turn it down a little) but it is REALLY smooth too. After talking with a the area team manager I was lucky enough to get picked up by them. Motors, speedos, batteries, and accessories.
Now I just have to get the stuff in the cars. I should have SP motors in all the rides for the Nats."

JC ran a Speed Passion 17.5 Club spec motor aty Monroe and was very happy with.
Howard offered him an entry level sponsorship, but we can get as good a deal with the hobby shop we alseady deal with.

The Race Em and the CCX tracks seem to be a harder, smoother track that might be closer to a nats track. My dirt is softer and lets a pin cut into it.

Mine is a "sand" track. Some topsoil in there, too, we believe. Actually there is clay 2 feet down.

How would you know?
Why do some of you have problem with me?
Are you as bold in person as you are on the keyboard?

Either way it was not appreciated. Plus after 10 hrs at work yesterday and 3 more hrs working on the track, I don't exactly have much of a sense of humor.


We are racing tommarow if anyone wants to check it out. Practice & reg. 9-11.

It's only 19 more days till the first practice day at the Nats. I see a few locals are signed up. I am pretty excited about going there, eventhough we have some good local racing going on leading up to that time.
