Don't forget all the go-fast tricks we showed you the last three years..... but leave the pylon-cutting trick at home.

thanks guys! we had a blast! the Nats is a whole nother Animal... very busy, very competitive, a TON OF FUN!
Back story, this was a gift from my parents for my 40th bday back in feb... trip to the nats. Dad was mostly going for me and to have fun (which we always do!) and he is the one that wins the trophy's!! it was awesome!
Dave, Dad and myself raced 424 (entry level nitro), EF1, and myself entered 426 (expert nitro) here are some links to "NatsNews" I was so busy on EF1 race day, I took very little pictures?! shameful... but NatsNews Captured some of our fun. poor Dave destroyed his nemesis, so he bought a proud bird while we there, and started assembling it!
