Wall Street Journal Article

Post by Noskills »

Anyone read the WSJ article on adults and the PWD last Sat. It was pretty short and sweet. Looks like it was about league racers or adult divisions. I see there was another WSJ article in 2005 listed here on DT.

I saw the article not too long ago. Though, the Derby Talk forum is really about the kids races, not adult races. ;)

Arguably, the adult racers never grew up! :)

Thanks for sharing, its a nice article. It was fun to read it.

Inthe past few years, easily pwd, has really changed in a wide range from pack philosophy, boy scouts doing blast cars.

But times are still pretty hard and this is a lower cost hobby, the models wal-mart does not car anymore and this gives men and women who like to play with a wood. Something to do to.
