    I’m glad to hear that you’ll be sending a car in!

    No need to be nervous about sending a car in, when I sent my first car forever ago into a race, I stunk, but I kept at it, and have improved significantly since then. Once you get into a mentality racing, this hobby really does become a lot of fun to work with, so much so that you’ll be getting excited just to look at your cars, LOL

    No kidding brother! I'm always a little nervous when I send my cars in! I'm always saying to myself... I should have worked longer on this car, or I should have done this, or that! But, the satisfaction of all your hard work and the excitement is well worth it! :cool:

    You might using FedEx or UPS to make sure it gets there. Isn't that much more $$.

    I will be as well. Although shipping is never really guaranteed, it could be better considering the fact that the holidays are over.
