No doubt about it, that 420 is loud!!

JT as I was scrolling through my photos look what I stumbled across...

(I hope I'm not hi-jacking your thread!)
JT are those graphics painted or just 3D?

You got me going through my photo collection now, great thread!! More photos of the Wett Vette.
Jeff are we going to get you and some of the IA crew back to St.Clair in June? I'm sure Steve can fill you in that it's worth the trip.

Not quite the real thing, but we have a replica, remote controll boat, of the B-36 race boat. This was awarded to Hawkeye Boat Sales back in 1998 (with out the motor & drive).

I also recall seeing a picture of that B-36' race boat (back when it was racing) getting huge air. Does anyone know where I would have seen that (news paper / magazine)?

JT - yes, Kustom Kolors painted your boat.

Dave - I'm certainly going to keep that as one of my top things to do next summer. Thanks!! I spoke with Steve about it and he said it was an absolute blast.

Sweet RC boat! Look forward to it Jeff. We missed you down at Cumberland this year. Couldn't find anyone wanting to stay up all night like you.

Took this picture of the old BAJA factory from a distance Saturday. I took the little "70" Honda to moms for the kids to ride and took a little ride through the woods to check the place out. Funny that I never realized how big the place was when I worked there. Its been broken into several times since it was closed. Heard one guy had his truck inside the gate at a loading dock and was found stealing copper pipe. I also found a spot in the fence that looks like it had been pulled away that you could get in. Not sure why anyone would risk going in there and getting caught.



(Sorry about the small picture, it was taken on my phone)

Was probably the same guys that got caught robbing the old Rubbermaid plant up the road from you in Wooster.

Scum....

Until someone gets the product line that has a real PASSION for the brand I would not expect much.
