Yup, that was my red rc with the shaved decals and gts style exhaust,
thanks. You've got a sweet truck yourself, very sorry to hear about the
cart incident, I don't know if I would have been able to control myself in
that situation, probably would have been kicked out for assault. Sorry I
didn't introduce myself, I was standing there while you guys were talking at
Bob's tent, wearing a hat, tank top, tattoos on both arms. If my travel
schedule allows, I'll definitely be at Carlisle next year, and the Nats
again, and next year I'll allow enough time off to stay for the eliminations
(and of course I'll try to get a lot more practice in between now and then).
