THE Cub Report, 05.25.09, Version Memorial Day
Wow, there hasn’t been crap going on in the industry lately. No big news coming out. No big products, just lots of boring. So how about some “in’s” and “out’s” for this weeks episode? Anodized blue parts are “out”, and “gun metal” anodizing is “in”. I’m guessing a lot of car manufactures haven’t gotten the memo yet, so there it is, [...]

From the Texas Motor Speedway: May 15th. Practice Day. Practice opened at 9am Friday. The track was a little rougher than intended due to the black gumbo used being really hard to lay smooth.

Looks like the Traxxas TORC / RC Pro series at the Texas Motor Speedway saw a little moisture. I’m told the racing still happened after getting the track drained. Looks like good bashing action, probably not so much fun for the serious racer. I wonder if they ever found the person belonging to [...]
