I'm planning to start racing again. I found my controller (well one of them anyway) yesterday. It was in a box with my BRM cars. Now if I can just find cars for the classes being raced I'll be in good shape.

After just a few laps Howie's car laid down a very impressive smoke screen. The motor totally fried and Howie had to switch to a back up car. Hence the disqualification.

Howie hosted another awesome Rapid 500 race to start off the 2019 racing season! The 500 is a great test of racing equipment as well as driver skill and endurance. In addition to the competition and camaraderie some excellent pizza was shared. Thank you Howie!
