First Post

I decided to start this blog to chronicle the experiences I have racing my Mini-Z R/C car. At a younger age I used to race 1/10th scale touring cars but I moved on because of rising costs, a lack of places to race locally and because I was about the age where women, wine and wild times become interesting. In March 2012, I found that the itch to race was still there and I decided to order a Mini-Z racer from eBay. I then took it down to Inside Line Racing in Cupertino, CA which is where the adventures started.

I've now been racing Mini-Z for about two months and I think I've had more fun doing this in those two months than I did in the whole six years I spent running 10th scale. I've already had the opportunity to participate in the Tekin Mini-Z Nationals and race in two A-Mains at the PN Racing RCX Challenge as well as meeting some pretty awesome people along the way. There is a much greater sense of community and camaraderie here in the Mini-Z world than I ever personally witnessed in other forms of radio control racing. My friends at the track are part of why I enjoy coming out at least twice a week to play with my small, but fast little car.
