When's the last time you saw an opening door on a Lexan-bodied slot car! The racers were seriously impressed and voted Jack's car the best of the GTC entries.

[Dave Reed]

Great run, Ron!... What a way to show who is a "Fast One"... Doing it with a sealed TSR!

[Vannerlee]

Neil,

Good run.

[NJ Racer]

Great run, Ron!... What a way to show who is a "Fast One"... Doing it with a sealed TSR!

Now that's a fact!

Can't wait to see the chassis and body too that Rockin Ron R4 won with.
