Pro Driver, Tim Mohr, and I were out one morning testing the new HPI Baja 5B. We were also testing out the new HD Camera. The footage isn’t at full HD Def, or it would be too big to download, but I think it’s pretty good. You’ll need a .mp4 codec [...]

I figure that would get your attention! Usually I post the normal Acer Racing logo whenever they have an announcement, but since this one is for their upcoming calendar, I thought I would do something special. The calendar is now up for pre-ordering at $18, and ships in September. [...]

We need to do some site maintenance here. It’s a little scary, there are some BIG updates we need to do for software on this end. If all goes smooth, the readers shouldn’t really notice a change.. maybe a little faster loading speeds. On our end.. it’s a few hundred code files. :\
