Well said, Ben. I don't know the ins-and-outs of people's problems with one another- and really don't want to. But maybe it's good just to take a break every now and then, like one friday a month. Can't hurt.

I had fun tonight. My oldest boy did better than ever. Good night.

Picked up a HPI F10 kit tonight, I should have it on the track soon, it is an easy kit to build.

Yeah, well I take 2 weeks between races and it hasn't helped my driving. But I couldn't handle the stress of just getting ready for every Friday. I don't know how guys that race 2 or 3 times a week do it.

I race against Mark Lyons and he is pure competition. He races at 3 venues at least. And multible classes all the time. Like Mark told me one time ( I've done this for 25 years ) If you take the time to watch Mark run slashes for instance. He is just plain smooth and takes the best line lap after lap. Unless traffic takes him out ---LOOK OUT---

did you even read my post? you dont have to like someone to not act like a douche. Mr lyons is a confidnet prick....but he walks the walk...the fact that most people cant but still talk the talk...makes them jealous. Period.

U have?????? hmmmm..don't remember that

Well welcome to our real world... Benny Hanna.. have u ready to race against some real competiton yet????

I do agree what Bojangles14 has said.... man!!...."I don't believe I said that". we do run little toy cars for just a hobby as I can tell you officially that I have run for almost 21 years this coming Jan. I do race to win but winning isn't everything..the way I look at it if I can finish 50% on how many entries our in my class.. I'm thrilled to death on that..Some people do make fun of me on what I do run and run with old stuff including on what batteries I decide to run with or what chassis I run with.. Well I say no matter on what I run or what i choose to run is my problem but I can say this,, when I do run.. I have FUN!!!! This is why I have so many cars and trucks to run.. I can run just about any class I choose on no matter where I run..I can run it and still have fun and do the best on what I have.. I do have a TC5 that I have ran with.. but I like the TC4 or my TC3 or my Losi XXX-S. I have a F1 car that i could run but just haven't made a decision on when to run it or my Mini-Cooper or in the works the new GT5 chassis.. I still run 3300's batteries even thou I do have 3700,3800,4200 and 4600 to run, I like running this stuff just to see how close I am to running with the big boys.. When I ran the VTA class back in April.. I almost made the A-main within 1 lap with a stock motor and 3300's.. pretty funny eh?? anyway the point here is if you get all pissy over what is going on in your class.. run some other class... People ask me why I don't concentrate on 1 car and 1 class and run and I say it boring that way.. I always run different classes to mix it up and get a chance to run against different competition and learn how to drive different styles that could help you in the classes you ran before and get more respect.. What fun is it beating or loosing to the same people week in and week out. I used to be sponsored back in the mid 90's by some pretty good companies and track owner but alot is expected by having great results and having less fun.. especially by running only 1 class.. I hated it!!! I admit I had the best equiptment money could by but I had a better time running my stuff and having a great time!!! Bojangles seen it with me back from 1994-1996 and it was alot of hassel but we got over it and since then I have had a blast.

Yes it would be nice if I would run all new stuff and beat the Lyons,Cordell and Smith and win all the time but Why????? once again it gets boring!!! besides any given week if I decide to do it.. I can run with any of them guys and win but also lose as well graciously.. ask Bob or Brian... we have had alot of battles in the past and we won some and lost some together.. but I do respect them as fellow racers and always will.

In closing...if things do get out of hand.. take time off for a little while.. IT WORKS!!! but don't QUIT!!!! cuz then you lose out on having fun!!!!

until next time!!!! PEACE OUT!!!!!!!!

The Dr.

oh p.s. Benny Hanna.. you still can't beat me!!! LOL
