    First, let me apologize, I walked right out the door leaving my fully charged DLSR setting on the bar. So, these are crappy cell pics, and really I didnt take that many cause they all looked the same. Awesome track, shitload of racers (think there still running right now). Talked to a few factory guys and lots of product reps, everyone was very cool and willing to share/help. Any ways, here are a few pics, and I'll post a couple of short shitty vids in a minute.

    After quite a few hours of the shootout, we headed to Huntsville to the hobby shop. After we got there we discovered they have totally redone there track, it was a very nice layout (I posted some pics of it awhile back) but now it's OMG bad-ass tight and technical, with little time to relax per lap. Gonna try to go run there tomorrow night. Here are a few pics of the new layout.

    It's not really that close to me either, (70 miles or so) but we've been doing business with them for over twenty years, they all call us by name, and knock 15 to 20 percent off any purchase (matching Tower or Amain on a kit). Love dealing with them but, sometime it's not feasible to drive that far for small stuff. But as of late, we can give them a call and they will ship (before 2:00pm) USPS and you can receive the next day.

    It was really cool, was amazing how dialed the factory guys were. All the qualifiers kinda had the pro guys spread out, which was good in some ways. That way there was a pro or two in almost every run. We were gonna go back for the A mains, but I had the dates/days all wrong. I was thinking Fri-Sun, but it is Thurs-Sat. and I had committed to something this morning.

    Finishing touches as we speak. I've gone back and shortened all my servo/ESC and BEC leads, (my buddy has the cool little crimping tool). Where the ESC sits along with the receiver location it was gonna be a big pile of bundled wires, I can't stand that. This will be a very clean simple "plumbing" job when completed. Will hit the track as soon I finish it completely.

    It's tough to find good short course tracks and crawling spots here. There are a few tracks but I've never really heard anything all that stellar about them.

    The crawl spots are mainly parks and shit. There is an indoor course in Miami but that's a hell of a drive from Orlando just to crawl.
