Eric Zimmerman Slash racing at Rescue - video

I have included a video or racer Eric Zimmerman (thats me) racing his slash at Rescue RC raceway. Eric has been racing since the early 90's starting at Cap City. He raced at the IFMAR Truck world Championships, has run in several state championships, and has won numerous regional "big" races in both off road and oval. This video is of him setting the Rescue track record in the stock slash class, enjoy. (he is driving the white with black flamed VW bug body).
