How about some sort of spec class for those of us wanting to get back into the sport without spending the big bucks right off the bat? With the economy in the toilet it might attract some new blood. If GR and South Bend have figured out that a tricked out Recoil isn't a "spec" car maybe something similar can happen here?

Have things stabilized at the store? I heard from someone who said they lost a few people at the store in the past 6 months and was wondering who would be handling the track this Fall.

Guys:
If you're looking for inexpensive, fun, competitive racing on carpet....you can't beat a BRP SC18V2M. Inexpensive to buy....easy to maintain and virtually unbreakable. Take a look at the you tube video for the BRP figure 8 race. This was an end of the season, "just for fun" race and even with all those crashes not a single car failed to finish the main. One last thing, these are the cars that beat every other 2WD pan car in national competition. And no....I don't work for them.

I know it got me, and my son, back into RC racing again after touring cars got so ridiculous.

Finally, you get the support that Bud Bartos (owner of BRP and designer of the car) provides. It is unparalled in my experince in RC, and that goes back to the eary 80's.
