Hi Wiz, I have tried to make a donation using my UK bank account but PayPal will not accept the card as I live in NZ and have a UK card? This is not your problem but is there a way I can just pay directly with a Visa card?

GPW will be down from approximately 13:30 tomorrow until the migration to the new server is complete. Once the site is "live" on the new server it could take another 24-48 hours to become accessible to all users.

For newcomers to GPWizard, make sure you check out the live chat during the race! It's the best way to turn a dull race into a great time, and the cherry on top of a great race! (I won't be able to attend Aussie though)

Glad to see you back online Wizzo. Did the issue point to a corrupted MySQL Data Table?

I apologise for the downtime. Normal service has been resumed.

Slo-mo video of a Traxxas RC car hitting a watermelon at 60 mph. Silly but fun to watch!

The poor watermelon didn't stand a chance, but hey, it was fun to watch!
I wonder if my local hobby electronics store is open today???

That’s hilarious...I used to race RC, had a little AWD gas powered buggy. Almost too fast to handle.
I follow a YouTube channel called How Ridiculous which is 3 guys from Perth Australia who drop stuff off a 45m tower. It’s usually pretty good. This isn’t one of their best, but explore the channel for some fun destruction.

This video works better with a six pack Scott ... clearly I am referring to refreshments and not fitness levels!!
I am a sucker for these type of video, as I could watch them ALL DAY!!!

Isn't amazing that they can drop a Thor's Hammer from tower & hit a giant nail, yet most people can't drive one into a wall without mashing their thumb.
Now, to tie this all together - My local hardware store here in Lancaster sells RC stuff, and they manufacture Atlas Balls (and other body builder stuff) in the basement of the store. The room where they make them had slot tracks in it back in the 60's. I raced there as a teenager.

I raced slot cars with a partial sponsorship in LA in the '70's. Switched to R/C and still race those once in a while. Helps keep the hand/eye coordination sharp. May have to retire though, those little screws are getting hard to see.

Whenever I had a crash that would take off a corner, I used to think “there goes 100 dollar”

I thought worse than that when I used to roll one of the real ones.
