Title: Hi all
Post by: imcreative on January 10, 2015, 03:20:33 PM
Hello racers,
I moved here a couple years ago from CO and am wanting to get back into little cars! I started with Gen 1 Xmods and spent most my time modding and hacking them rather than actually racing. You may have known my from the forums ran by Performance Xmods (I was a mod there just before it shut down) or as Creative_SN at Atomic mod's forums. I was also a member of Greyscale Racing (not sure how much their reputation is still around) and ran my own (very) small shop (FreestyleXmods.com - check it out for some pics). I haven't done much anything with 24th scale since 2007, but I worked in an RC hobby shop through undergrad and got into heli's there (I still suck at flying).

Anyway, my 24th scale garage is currently a bunch of gen 1 Xmods and an iWaiver (01 I think). Any chance there's opportunity to race those old things with you? I'd love to get back into it.
Looking forward to meeting you all and getting back to a track!
- Ted

P.S. Looking through the members I recognize Arch2b from back in the day. You still around?

A couple pics of my stuff to brighten this post up:

Ted,

Glad you found us. Yes you definitely can come out and race little cars with us. I myself have lots of Xmod stuff and while we don't actually have any guys racing them with us currently they can be really fun. We do have a couple loaner Mini-Z's that you can try also.

We usually race every other week. Just PM me for the address (Brian's house) and I can get you directions.

P.S. Arch2b is still around but mostly he posts on MZR.
