THE Cub Report, Version 08.22.2010- Pay Up Suckers
How are tracks keeping their doors open now days? Have you looked at weekly attendance at your local tracks? More likely than not, your local track is getting 15-40 entries on a weekly basis, hardly enough to keep the lights on and rent paid. Well, I’ll tell ya how many tracks are keeping their doors open, big “trophy” races. Many [...]

THE Cub Report, Version 08.02.2010, Vettel Is Great At Blowi…
Another week, another drama in my beloved Formula 1 racing. Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel easily grabbed another pole position last weekend at the Hungarian Grand Prix, showing he and his Red Bull car are the fastest thing on the circuit. But once again, having the fastest car did not net young Vettel a win, as Sebastian was issued [...]

THE Cub Report, Version 07.26.2010- Sucks Massa Pulled Over …
Have I mentioned how much I love Formula 1 racing? Have you heard every race is a giant soap opera? Well today at Hockenheim my favorite F1 team, Ferrari, had a one/two finish all locked up.

Hello again rc hobbyists, industry types, and people that just stumble in from a Google search. Damn glad to see ya. So…. I got to hold the new HPI MTT (Mini Trophy Truck) in my hands. I guess the main thing that entered into my mind while looking it over was just how much passion the guys at HPI have right [...]
ASK Cub Reporter, Version 07.07.2010
Yes indeed, another week, another edition of ASK Cubby. Btw, as I was walking down the halls of the ultra luxurious BSRC offices last week, one of my co-workers had the nerve to say, “Cubby, all the questions you post can NOT be real can they?”. Well folks, yes indeed they are. Truth is stranger than fiction, even the Cubverse. ========== “I [...]
THE Cub Report, Version 07.04.2010
Another “big” race was held last week. I know, I know, there is seemingly a “big” race every week, but the IFMAR world championships for 12th scale and 10th touring car are only held every two years, and they went down last week in Germany. I bring this up for two reasons- one being that I bet you didn’t [...]
THE Cub Report, Version 06.27.2010
So I was at a local track this weekend trying to finish up the BigSquid test of the HPI Blitz ESE, and there were a number of other rc enthusiasts there. I approach them all and ask a simple question, “Who’s gonna win the nats this weekend?”. Simple enough question really, and if you are a core racer, or work [...]

THE Cub Report, Version 06.20.2010
The year was 1974 and up rolls my old man in his Ford F-150. Being a curious young chap, and glad to see him, I run over to the truck. In the back of it was a small dirt bike. I had no idea why it was there, but even though I was curious, I was even happier to see [...]
