The NASTE CARLO!  Coming to a track near you soon...

More details will be posted as they become available.

That's right!  I made a deal.  I traded off half of my SCX Rally Track with my extra Rally Chrono Unit for a great selection of SCX Off Road track and a few off road trucks.

The great thing here is that as you can see from the picture, it includes the set that transits from paved to dirt.  That paved section will also connect up to that other half of the Rally track that I still have.

And as you can see I still have some rally track left.  Should work out to be quite the track.

I expect it will arrive next Tuesday.  Oh, the excitement!

This past Sunday we held the first of the Sunday Series for 2012.  A fine field of 20 racers spent a glorious day at the race track.  Here are the results:

Monte Saager 146
