Dear racers
This was one of the strangest Winternats, which I have had in all the years. Just a quick reminder: Florida in winter is sunshine; warm (shorts, t-shirt and so on) and regarding the Ft Myers track, grippy (1/8 scale traction rolling!) and hard on cars. This year everything was different, except the last thing. Right before the end of the final there were 3 cars running! Everybody else was broken. How did that happen, were all the drivers crap?
