Apollo has been frustrated as hell with the complete lack of fun ideas from Thunderlips gigantic melon. After teasing him and calling him a bunch of expletives, they decided to head to the sweet ass indoor Kyosho Mini-Z track down at Asheville Hobbies. The smack talk was flowing and the blood was boiling.

Apollo and Thunderlips love the Kyosho Mini-Z’s to death because they’re essentially ready to run right smack out of the box, all you need to do is buy the batteries. I mean how awesome is that?

According to Clay (the MAN at Asheville Hobbies) Folks interested in racing these super-fun, fast and affordable Mini-Z’s should call the shop for current practice nights. Races alternate between Thursday night and then the next week on Monday nights. A nominal $2.00 practice fee gets you track time from noon to 8pm.

The name calling was at its peak at the start of the race. Apollo swears he has the faster car and slicker driving skills.

The King of Sting starts off fast and easily beats the lumbering cumbersome Thunderlips off the grid. Apollo spanks the pack.

After nearly crashing into the serious foam barrier, Thunderlips gains steam on Apollo's blunder. Uhoh.

Apollo appeals to the heavens for some kind of electric Mini-Z NOS system. He can't let this joker show him up. Even though wrestling is real.

Even though Thunderlips is a dead-lock to win the race, he takes the final turn a wee too wide.

Apollo takes Thunderlips on the inside, Tom Cole Trickle Days of Thunder Scientology Cruise style. The photo-finish doesn't lie: Apollo win's by a bicep flex.

The winner got to play with a shiny, brand-new Team Losi 1/18 scale Mini-Rock Crawler. These are sweet ass, Ready to Run, batteries and charger included.

Apollo for real appreciates Clay for letting him hang out all day on the indoor Mini-Z track at Asheville Hobbies. He’ll be back for more races, and can’t wait to match his stuff up against some hardcore racers.
