While many of my local friends are on road racing the Midwest Series race in Toledo this weekend, and all the honch dirt guys are busy at some ‘BIG’ race in Charlotte, North Carolina … I find myself heading to Las Vegas for a week of ‘work’. 

It really doesn’t matter what field you work in, trade shows suck the life out of you. I’ll be staying in the Venetian, which is physically connected to the convention center the show is at. In theory, I could go all week without ever going outside. Breathing that much recycled air for a week… it’s like being stuck inside an airplane. Good times.

Me and some of my R/C dedicated co-workers will travel with our Losi Micro T’s. With our massive hotel rooms, we’ll construct the 2008 Venetian Indoor Super Cross track. Doesn’t matter if we’re not racing hour long 1:8 buggy mains, we’re a serious as a heart attack.

All you ‘Left Coasters’ think you have all the fun…  Well, here in the Midwest, we simply bolt up two stroke engines to everything :)   This past Labor Day weekend, we had probably the nicest three days of weather of nearly the entire summer.  It was the perfect time to play with all the toys.

This is 25+ years old or now.  My parents bought it (barely) used when I was like 11 or so.  Check out the vintage decal action!  The control off the front is a hydraulic throttle control, then it has a tether/kill switch that you can see going from the engine area to my vest.  It’s a 2 cylinder, two cycle (pull start only) that I think it rated around 15 hp.  It’ll top out about 30mph.

Braaapppp!

So the other day I Googled my name and this was what I found…Someone had posted my pic comparing which female driver is hotter. Thought it was funny because I am an R/C car racer up against some Big name female drivers in the industry that race: Nascar, Formula 1, and etc.
