Hi Eric,

 

Thanks so much for the tour.

 

As I was viewing the pix, it made me feel as though I was there - thank you!

 

The only thing missing is the "smell of wintergreen!"  LOL

I believe Doug said Bechtelsville is where it's going.

The "new" track was Koford's King G20.

A motor is only as fast as the chassis it's in.

Congrats to all the winners. Looked like a good turnout from the pictures.

Obsessed is the word the lazy use to describe the dedicated.
