I figured that was the case. Do get me wrong I'm not a pessimist about Dnanos but it seems Kyosho is shooting themselves in the foot for lack of attention to details.

There are a couple of problems with their Racednano.com web site.
1) is the erroneous lap times being recorded
2) under locations they listed I believe your track and a number of tracks in Japan that have no activity in the last 30 days. The problem with this is it gives you the impression that this is the total global activity for Dnanos.

I believe this web site is important for the future of the Dnanos in the US since Kyosho has made this exclusive arrangement with Hobbytown. The reality is these small carpet tracks will only be good if someone can race their cars and compare themselves with others on the online site. But the online data needs to be legit or it's credability is lost. Once this happens it'a very difficult to established it again. As far as I can see this is the only value of these tracks since they too small to have actual races. Even worst I don't think the stores want a bunch of racers, since they will have to dedicate a lot more room for this to be effective.
