I'm getting pretty excited for Saturday, I'm heading to a track that I haven't been to in about 8yrs to race with some old friends. I spent last night getting all my gear ready and double checking that everything was still in working order, I also had some major dust removal to do since it's been about 4yrs since I've been racing. I'm running two classes, 2wd truck and 2wd buggy, if I remember to take the wife's camcorder I will take some video and post up.

Did you guys ever get into the boat thing???? I had a 48" Prather??? with a weedwacker engine.... It would fly.... Did the car/monster truck thing.... as stated I had BIG money into them that was crazy!! My Ofna 10th scale on road was Bad Asz though....

I had a nitro boat for a while and it was fun but always having to drive to go run it kinda sucked.

So how did you do??????

I got 1st place in 2wd truck and 2nd in 2wd buggy, it was a blast to get back on the track. The next race is Dec 3rd and I'm planning to take my older son with me, he's 6 and this will be his first time at the track.

Glad it went well...I will bet he will have fun....Here is the last car i bought,have not ran it yet......

I plan to give my race buggy to my son on Saturday, it will be his first time racing and I wanted him to have a nice new body that's painted up in his favorite colors.

That looks great!

Thanks, I can't wait to see the look on my son's face.

I took my son racing for the first time and we had a great time, by the end of the night he was able to put the battery in and put the body on all by himself. He really liked turn marshalling, I guess when you have endless energy you don't mind all the running around. He got 10 laps in each heat race and 11 laps in the main so he did improve a little bit as the night went on, for comparison the fastest guys were getting 27 -30 laps. For a 6yr old he did really good for it being his first time, over the years I've seen kids that were much older that were worse.
