Ran into Mark Chapple (TST) at Wal-Mart..

I love this town (columbus, IN).

Turns out TST is working on a new 24V box.

Guess who volunteered to test it? Since I'm here in the same town and all...

We now return you to the previously scheduled Hohn sabbatical...

Looks like the Adrenaline reignited more interest in the VP industry. How much you want to bet Edge will be next?

Probably because they realized our niche is strong as ever, and the CR is stealing our thunder!

I can't even get rid of a used Drag box for over $400, so imagine sales of new units came to a screeching halt. However, I blame that on the folks that are letting them go for $300

So for the derail...

Yea, but I'd say the number one reason used sales blow right now is because of the adrenaline. I remember once upon a time a drag comp was everything and then some, and the only way you got better was something like a bluechip fms or redline AKA big money.
