Man Mike, you impress me. Not only are you a great R/C car driver, but maybe you should be in the advertisment business as well!

WOW did my little comment about a trophy race really spawn this much conversation? I think that the idea is a very good one. I think you should call it the Grand Rapids city on-road championships and I think you should advertise in other cities by sending flyers to other hobbyshops around the state. That way you can catch any of the on-road hotshoes that might get their lollies by coming up here and winning our city championship as well as some of the rivertown guys who think they have something to prove. I mean if you are just trying to get more racers out I think that is a good way to do it. I also think that the race should start around 4 or 5 in the afternoon so that we can have some cooler weather, because I think the biggest reason people are probably not going there is because it is HOT:devil: on that asphalt. People are staying in their houses with the central air on.

I just might show up for this race, guys. Might be able to get some other Lansing racers to show as well.

The only problem that I see is that only leaves a little longer than 2 weeks to get everything together, but i know it can work.
