THANK YOU SPONSORS!!

very cool!!! hyde is coming along nicely ;) now get out to AZ and race me! :D

... well I do have an enclosed trailer and tow vehicle now :D

If this season goes well, I will greatly be expanding the area I race in next year ... you may see me anywhere :)

What kind of a race do you want Dan?

very cool Jeff!

Ya know whats sad, I spent like 5 minutes squinting at those pictures to try to find where you put "Lachean" on Hyde...

haha :loser:

i did the same.. :p

That's not sad ... that is the whole point. :)
I am really pleased with the stripe of names.

Both of you (Lachean & TRD2000) are clearly visible here:

Thanks for your support. :)

solo2 ;)

perhaps at a national event in the fall?

lol ... I am not a great Solo2 person, but I am always game for fun. What's involved in the national events? ... aren't they in Topeka?

yeah, i probably won't have the car sorted by then though... maybe some time in the fall? possibly we could find a hillclimb in between here and there...

Heh, you put me right next to JekylandHyde, nice!

Also, no problem, I'll always support Hyde, and your videos, and whatever else you think up next

Dan ... we'll have to see how the car holds up through the summer ;)

Lachean, thanks for the support ... maybe you can start helping me come up with ideas? :D (are you submitting video for the MR2OC video I am making?)

haha what sort of video are you after?

What ever people want to submit. :)

cause i've been wonderin bout how well my MR2 flies for a while now...
