started back in 92ish raced until 94 then took a break until late 2013 lol.
I had a fully pimped LXT with the XX transmission, a RC10 team car with the Molded RPM worlds chassis and a XX-t when I finally quit racing. I started back up in 2013 with a DEX210, then a B4.2, then I have had a ton of different buggies, finally settling with Team C.

My first meeting was in '97 or '98 at what was High Wycombe Ministox Club racing a mardave v12. Still racing at wycombe but now it's Wycombe Radio Car Club (wrcc) in the bangers with similar cars. Making my touring debut finally on Sunday:woot:. Can't wait!

About 1984 At Donishorpe. Started with a Holiday Buggy then... a Mardave Apache. Tamiya Wild One, Mardave Meteor, Kellers of Norwich with a Schumacher CAT XLS, Tamiya VW Golf FWD, Cougar 2000 '95 Team. Schumacher Bosscat Works, TTech Predator, Back to the Midlands with a Schumacher Axis and Associated RC10 B4, USA and RC10 B4.1 WC, TC6.1 now also a Schumacher KF2.

Not been a regular racer for a couple of years, but need to work that one out!

It's been awesome, i've learnt so much about electrical and mechanical engineering i can't help but recommend it to anyone.

About 1986 Tamiya Grass hopper ,few of us used to get together and race. Bought a rere a while back opened the box and I was instantly transported back to that Christmas day ! First proper race meeting was in Swansea club indoors in about 1987/88 with a PB Mini Mustang.

About 84, first car was a Mardave mini, but then got a Mardave Meteor and raced mainly in Blackburn, Albion Mill. Can't remember the exact name of the club.

Yup, great clubs, great racers and always a full house at events. I do miss Cobra, Abergavenny, Newport and my favourite Caerwent clubs. First car I had was a Tamiya Hotshot and first raced with you and Dave at Tredegar park car rally. Sandra said that they would be there again a year later and I arrived again and then found out about clubs and thats when it all happened. I think that was 86 as in 89 I was racing the Lazer ZX.

2016 more of a crash fest than racing though.
