I will say again... "this car makes racing feel like I'm cheating"!
In preparation for the US Nationals this coming week, I raced a packed local Southern California track last night. I did very well finishing 4th in the pro/Expert buggy A-main. All of the drivers who beat me (1st-3rd) are sponsored drivers (I am not sponsored), and quite few that I beat where also sponsored. I fell a couple seconds off the lead lap late in the race due to an incident with a certain distracted turn marshal, but thats racing. I also felt a bit under powered running an RB S3 budget motor in Pro class racing, but the car made up for that with ease. Next time that buggy starts up, it will have my OS speed in it...

As I was the only one running the 808 last night, we defiantly turned some heads again out here is SoCal.
I was testing a very interesting setup that I'll post later for you guys to laugh at, but man was it fast and easy to drive!

Keep in mind this was on a very difficult US style super cross track, with 35 foot big air jumps all over the place.
