    How cool is that.  A race track and unlimited spare parts a few steps away?

    having on site parts is very cool.  we racked up a hefty little bill too.  however, a few of us picked up speed passion speed control for spec racing but they (hobby shop) were out of programming cards so Adam(yreka), Aaron (yreka) and myself all had to race with virtually no brakes in our 2wd 17.5 short course trucks  :eek:.  still had a blast though
    my point is, being prepared is priceless, i have a lot of room for improvement.

    You would think someone there would let you borrow their programming card for a minute.

    Why do so many pro racers use Speed Passion motors and ESC's?

    @gps, one racer had a card but it failed.  Not sure why sp is used in so many pro-racers.  prolly good advertising... pay the pros to use quality parts (they can win with most any brand).  Pros are not gods, they r humans.  they just have 1000 times more wheel time/experience.  still, when i see my favorite driver use something, i feel i also need to get that something to add to my bag tricks. 8)
