Outdoor season is here!

So the outdoor season will kick off in Ontario with Sid's annual "Spring Shakedown" this weekend (if the weather holds....). I will again be "Almost Live" with race coverage from the event. New this year is a totally brand new track layout with some really cool features, new watering system, some new dirt and a few other little tweaks. Their website (www.sidsraceway.com) is one of the nicest looking and functioning RC Track websites out there. I was there testing the Kyosho's a few days ago and was swapping between the stock RB5 rear end and the new Worlds rear end kit. I think I am going to run the new worlds kit and just get on with it. The cars were pretty good I think but the track was a little loose still from the fresh build. The Lazer SP was working good as well. Tire wise, so far, JConcepts Goosebumps, Proline Bowties and even Losi IFMAR studs were working, but again the track wasn't swept, so that may change. I am hoping for one more test day there before race day. There are quite a few pre-registered for this one so it looks like electric off-road is really back on the up swing! Sid's always has the nicest trophies around as well. Hopefully I can add a couple to the pile in the basement. Oh yeah almost forgot....10 minute A Mains, 8 minute B's and 7 minutes for C on. Cooooooool.

So come on by and hang out in the Kyosho/Orion super pit and take in some racing action and see who has been practicing over the winter and who has been surfing the net too much!
