After the cancelation of Motorama, several people have been in communication that they still wanted to get together and compete. So, Mustangboy took the lead, secured the Boulder House in Johnstown, OH for the 18th and began contacting the different clubs.
So far it looks like there will be competitors from Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the list is growing.
I will post more details as they come available. So far it looks like it will start around 9am, but that time is just tentative and may change.
I would like to get a list of people together from WPaC that...

W.Pa.C. will always have Supers...That is what got all of us OG involved in the first place.
I do see 1.9's becoming a force to be reckoned with and W.Pa.C. will keep an eye on where it is going.
Newbies...build a 2.2 comp rig. These are the easiest to get started. With the increases RTR and ARTR rigs out there in 2.2, you can have a competitive rig out of the box.
Now, Supers are incredible. The things that we can make them do is amazing. Running Supers makes it harder to find Locations to run.
1.9's are the up and coming. This little monsters open up a lot more options for...

As most of ya'll know I am headed down south... waay south for a week of working in sunny Peru.
Given the pics I have seen from my boss' trip they keep llamas on plant site to mow the grass, and have some... umm.. "interesting" fountains on display. Looks like we are going in a similar political environment as he did, so it'll be interesting to see if we get the armed escort on and off site as he did.
Now flying is interesting, as connections tend to make little to no sense. Such as why would I want to fly into Toronto, Canada before I go to Lima, Peru? Does anyone own a globe or pay...

With the introduction of the new Traxxas XO-1, it got me thinking about the vehicles that were launched that changed the RC Hobby. This is definitely not all inclusive and please feel free to add your thoughts. Listed in order of launch.
The first RC that comes to mind is the Tamiya Blackfoot. Up until then, most RC were buggies. The Blackfoot introduced trucks and semi scale looks to the RC Hobby.
Staying with the Tamiya Product, the Tamiya Clodbuster exemplified the Coolness of RC. Cantilever Suspension, MOA Axles, 4WS and Big Huge Tires. The ultimate...

Do you like RC...even better do you like Motorsports in general? If the answer is yes to either of these questions, then you need to be at Motorama in Harrisburg, PA. This is the largest indoor motorsports event in the country. And when I say Motorsports, I mean MOTORSPORTS, How about TunerWars, Robot Conflict, Speed Show, RC Rockcrawling, RC Electric Off Road Racing, RC Nitro 1/8 Scale Racing, 1/5 scale Racing, Arena Cross, Quarter Scale Midgets, Go Karts and more.
You are probably wondering where could something like this be held...The PA Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, PA.

Well it is 4:30am on February 17th, 2011. I just cannot believe that a year has gone by. It seemed like only yesterday I was congratulating all the drivers and saying bye.
Regardless of what I think, we are on our way to Motorama 2011. We are packed up, got all the stuff we need, I hope, and on the road.
There should be about 8 triaxles of rock sitting there waiting for us to pull in around 8:30am. It is then time to get down to business.
I will be updating this Blog throughout the event, as much as I can. May have some special guest chime in, you never know.

This past weekend at ECC I had something odd happen that got me to thinking :hmmm: I know it's a scary thought... me thinking and all... but bear with me here...
As we were chilling in the cabin and I was talking to the devil, well not really it was only Patrick aka 666, and BillyGoat, who are from CO I realized just how long I've been in this and how much things have changed.
