    Definition of oxymoron:
    a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms.
    eg
    Pretty ugly
    Easy payments
    Deafening silence
    Military intelligence
    OFFROAD TRACK :):D

    these tracks are in the process of being built now for over 4 years. Most likely you will be waiting another 4 if anything is done at all.

    Hi Rhodney,
    You can practice pretty much any time at the St. Annes track. From March onwards championship racing will resume there for which you need to be a member but other than that its fine to use the track.

    What car are you running? Have you ever considered racing it? If you keep an eye on www.orcaireland.com you should see the 2008 Racing Calendar published there shortly.

    Regards,

    Oisin

    Hey everyone.
    :D:D:eek::eek:I'm amazed by this video and what these junior scientist have done with basic RC knowledge combined with knowledges of Atoms and fuels. I personally have seen this car being tested in northern VA around my college on a straight road. I have seen the radar guns readings and this is true. Just didn't know that the video was ever posted. I couldn't help but laugh when i saw the car screaming past me and some friends at 129 Mph. The Guys running this thing were passing cars like they were sitting still when going down a 55Mph zone. It was kinda unnerving to see the flames shooting out of the back, but as a fan of the Jato myself i was amazed. It is a Jato body but not so much anything else. The body is much wider and of course the jet engine. I didn't get to see them take the body off to refuel because of "Patent pending parts" They said they are going to try to sell a version of this in 2008. This is for real and i cant wait to show my friends, cause they thought i was kidding about seeing this thing that day.
    CHECK IT OUT!
