wow! what a weekend.

best I could manage was 8th in the a finals, im getting old!

very disappointed in the rere worlds car, wish I took my original worlds car instead!

The 91 stealth car was very popular and drove on the track like a knife on butter, soaked up all the bumps and ruts with easy, as was more reliable than the worlds car

over the next few days Ill post up pictures and videos from the event as I get them

but for now, here in a couple I took on my iphone

Gavin, the guy who took my Stealth car for a few laps actually went to the 91 worlds and had raced against the real cars, so I thought it was a great idea to offer him a drive of mine.
