Topic: Big Fun at Barclay Hills Circuit last night!

Thanks Chris for letting us abuse you cool three lane circuit last night! What a blast! Close tight racing all night!

You basement came out beautifully! The snacks and drinks were awesome, and I also enjoyed watching the You Tube videos of past NASTE races on your big screen TV!

I too had fun last night and I only broke one car, plus I managed to hook up my controller correct every time.  I do owe certain people a little help off the track next time out and they know who they are. ;-)

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

I was glad to see so many people make it out for the first night at Casa Kouba.  Thanks for coming over!  Glad you guys enjoyed it. 

It's a tight fit in the track room but it did seem to work out well enough.  Sorry that the race management was a little outdated, and that after many, many hours of testing and validating, the start/stop relay function phoned it in for the night.  I saw Mitch posted some videos on FB in which I was tagged, so I had to log in and check them out.  Thanks for posting Mitch.  If anyone else had pics from the evening, please link them up here as well.

It is my goal to update the software before the next event, and possibly even the hardware, but don't hold your breath for that part.  I've got gravity cars to build!
