Thats cool,
bet you couldn't do it with your Lexus Inbred?
Could get a sponsorship deal from Werthers?
as a bit of fun at our SCT National... i think we should set up some side event using the 1/8th track... how about looking into the guiness record for longest jump for an electric car? could use the 1/10th straight and corner as a run up onto the 1/8th straight with a ramp? |

yeah but they failed cos they used crappy cars that didn't fly... my Lousi SCT flys very well and with grip will be quick enough to get high enough i reckon and i'd give it a go for a laugh... its the last big meeting of the year so do or die!
An electric 1/8th truggy would be best for a hard landing... will look into it, might be worth getting gadget show involved for some free publicity (mmmmm Suzy Perry!) |

| Suzy Perry and you? ........blahhahahahahaha, she might like cutsey-lickle monkeys but she sure as heck wouldn't go for a Baboon. I'm sure some ladies might like a 'bit of rough' but not completely dog-rough! |

Ahhh, didn't know they tried again... still reckon we could have a go... lay some astro down the car park and build a huge ramp... easy!
Yeah yeah Gramps... don't get bitter, just cos i'm too old for you and not interested in seeing your puppies! |

| I reckon we should have a caravan race, or have teams of 2 trucks tethered together for a bit of a laugh. |

Isn't that classed as a demolition derby?
I think some of our members have a twisted mind... |

can anyone else remember the 'pin and balloon' race at the forum xmas race night very many years ago? drawing pin on front of car and balloon on the back... last one with a balloon wins!
was a good laugh, but also recall a marshal getting bitten on the ankles and every one of the touring cars (tamiya TA01's & 02's on rally blocks!) looking like a pepper pot at the end of the night! |

| Yep, I will be getting the aluminium steering rack to replace the plastic one that bends. I was told that it cures the understeer that you get from the plastic one which can flex |
