rock crawling has been at lochside school the past couple of weeks but there was talk of meeting at gonzales hill this week.

we get together around 6 ish but its getting dark quick style.

we set up a course with gates and record ponits. theres a few guys that are in pretty deep and get really competative.

Ken

you would be surprised how hard and realistic VRC is, it could easily be considered practice, it definatley teaches you that "slower is faster BS" sometime when i have my laptop out you can try it.

Hey guys it was mentioned about Mini Z's earlier.  Phil has VERY kindly bought track for it and is going to set up a track at his place.  That could be considered racing.  Now where is a good place to get a Mini Z?  Hey Phil, are the X mods compatible?(ie: same class, speed etc.?)

By the way Jody, how many pieces are left?? (lol)

Jim, if you mean pieces of my airplane, she is in one peice still. I took it easy, just practiced approaches, take-offs and landings in both directions.  Next time I will get stupid with it and see what she can do.
