Oh yeah, I forgot that Darren (I was lucky for one race and one race only in my life) Cardel is leaving MRT. Ahhh.....crap.....

[Salamander]

Also, the Wernstrom model number will continue to be 256. It doesn't change year-to-year.

[bsoyuz]

Well, 2013 is over, and just going to say one thing: Mathias, what have you done!

[DemocalypseNow]

Well, 2013 is over, and just going to say one thing: Mathias, what have you done!

He's a perfect fit for MRT given recent events.
