I was all excited, but it's first night of passover on 4/12. Nobody looks at calendars anymore. :-(

Just a heads up, the Retro Marathon Race at Modelville Hobby is the same weekend.

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

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap
