Met up with some guys from a Chicago based forum in Elgin, IL at a BMX track. ( http://www.thehillbmx.com/ ) Looks like they will actually start BMX'ing there next month... every weekend...
Probably hands down some of the most fun I've had bashing in a long time. Just so many things to jump and race around on. To bad they spent most of their day wrenching and not driving. I got there an hour early and bashed alone (I was actually on time, they were an hour late), so by the time they showed up, I had a good section of the track down pretty good.
But, after about 1/2 gallon of fuel through my revo after almost 3 solid hours of running, I broke an axle. I cased a double at WOT and snapped a rear axle. Second time that has happend to me... I think it's because the RPM arms flex so much that it obviously strains the axle while it's rotating and snaps it.
I also broke a RPM arm that I didn't realize until today. Guess I'll have to check out their replacement plan. I think I'll probably just buy a new arm and wait until another breaks to send it in though.

And the axle:
