Default Giant Scale Racers!!

Dudes, would you guys like to see some giant scale race coverage? Max and I are looking at some cool stuff to cover. I'll be in Rantoul for the big race. Anyone dig it? My boys at Team Speed Demon are amped about the exposure. You would not believe how fun it is!!

Shortbus,

They have the biggest wrecks of all time. When they dump one or mid air one you better beleive there is carnage.

Hey...I say why not?

I like FAST!!! I also like precision and 3D and just slamming it around the sky.

I still have my Sig Wonder with a Norvel AME 25 runnin' 17,200 with an APC 7x8 prop.

Yep, I like fast

THATS WHAT I'M TALK'N ABOUT!!!!!!! Get'r done Biffy. You need to get some of these Huckers out to a GSR meet and let'm feeeeeeel the thunder. I'm sure I'll provide one of those "explosions" they all wanna see! lol Who knows, maybe they'll get a sneak peak demo of a GSR at the Nall this year! Team Potential Flow would be happy to provide one (hint hint, nudge nudge, know what I mean, know what I mean) It's nothing less that a hair raising event. You might even say its just like Huck'n,,only different!!!!!! Just picture Nascar in the air! Seriously though, you guys can check it out on the USRA web-site to get a better idea of what goes on.

Seeya yall there
