Race Day!!

The Nationals hangover is over. There was no local carpet action last week so none of us have had any F1 action. We have 9 planning on racing with a possible 10th, plus whoever else shows up. Some of these guys haven't had an F1 on track in 3 or more weeks. There will be a couple of first time F1'rs plus the debut of the F104W GP as well. Should be a great day of F1 racing. I am still waiting on the Speed Merchant World GT3 to show, scheduled for tomorrow. So I have come up with an evil/ingenious plan to get my wife to bring it to me: I volunteered to take our 3 year old with me to the track for the first half of the day. And since she is coming all the way out there to pick him up anyway.... might as well bring my new toy. So simple. I will have a damage report Saturday night.

*DISCLAIMER- I didnt watch this video before I posted it. So if the race isnt cool, sorry. But look at that track! That, my friends, is cool. Its not flat any where, I would love it.

Robert Paints

My buddy Racer Robert has been busy lately. Not only building the F104W GP this week, but he has found the time to paint up a few bodies. Hes much too modest to post them, but I'm not. Sorry bud, these are going live!

First up is an F103 Williams body. Done up nicely of course.

Next up is the Tyrell for the F104W GP

And finally his WGT ride, I think its a DB9. Either that or a Sophia. I am too new to the WGT cars to tell the difference.

And just to add to this, he finished 5th in the F1 A Main at the Nationals, and topped that with a 4th in the 17.5 1/12 B Main, out of over 60! I'm impressed. He's kicking some tail. The pride of the Posse!

Exotek FGX lower arm braces.

The newest of the MUST HAVE FGX hop ups is out. Seriously, must have. I wish they would have come out about 2 weeks ago. I wouldn't have sold my FGX. Broken lower arms kept my McKune FGX out of the Nats. I got 3 laps in during practice before I snapped the lower arms. Was the 3rd set of lowers in as many weeks. Thes lower supports  along with the link front end should bullet proof the FGX for the most part. Thank you Exotek! Get them HERE!
