Watching these remote control cars and trucks speed, fly, jump and crash into each other reminds me of my youth!

I went to a outdoor dirt track called Pheasant Run in Holly, Michigan for a competition race and for someone not familiar with RC I had one HELL of a good time watching these amazing cars and trucks do their thing!!!
Wanted to share with others how fun, intense and exciting RC racing is. Here is the link to the video;

These cars, some which can reach speeds of 60 miles per hour, are nothing like the kind you and I can buy at the local Radio Shack or Toys-R-Us and with a price ranging from $300 to $2,000 you can understand why. “That’s like driving a Masarati against an Escort,� said Terrell Anderson, 28 of Detroit who has been racing rc cars for the past three years. “I’m not going to say how much I got in RC car racing but my wife is not the happiest when it come to my RC’ing,� said Anderson who already has a RC car bought and waiting for his 1 ½ year old son when he is ready.
