THE Cub Report- 01.29.2012- Country Fried Chicken Version
James “Cow” Stewart didn’t crash last night in Oakland, so of course he won! While his new “Cow” nickname isn’t particularly funny (or catchy), it certain seems to hold true- Crash Or Win. Stew dedicated last nights win to his practice mechanic Mark “Tex” Adams who tragically passed away during the week. Our thoughts and prayers go out [...]
Pics from St. Louis Auto Show
Just a few random pictures from our visit yesterday at the St. Louis Auto Show. The Monster Energy/Falken Tire 2011 Ford Mustang GT Drift Car was there with driver Vaughn Gittin Jr. signing autographs. If Vaughn Gittin Jr. can charge $20, I should be charging $30! The HPI version of the car was also there doing a little drifting action. I [...]

Speed Passion Sensored 17.5R Brushless Motor Review

THE Cub Report- 01.16.2012- I Guess I Got A Bad Habit
What an awesome Supercross race Saturday night! James “Bubba” Stewart is proving he needs some serious time with a sports psychologist. Bubba crashes more than the BSRC servers, and when he’s not busy crashing he’s not even close to his former “Fastest Man on the Planet” status. Speedy Reedy rode a smart race for points, it’s still early [...]
