A Final
 
This Year 2008 First National A Final 1/8th Truggys Round 1 at the tender age of 34 only took 22 years ! :thumbsup:

F1 -- oh thats that formula thingy you have with them dinky toys ! :woot:

Was F2 back in 1998 or sometime round then ! :confused:

Time to set the way-back machine Herman!

The year was 1988 and the venue was Mansfield.
One leg A's back then - managed a 5th if I recall correctly.

Gained my F1 licence during the first year they were bought in - can't remember rightly but it must of been about 1990/91. Back then, you had to make 2 A or B finals in the season to get the top grade.

Age back then - now that would be telling but 2010 will see me eligible for the vets under the current rulings:p

You must have had that all written down in a diary or something, cause there's no way you could have remembered it at your age. :p

Nearly Phil but not quite!

I have to have a good memory to be able to recall the times when I used to be quite fast - that's all:thumbsup:

Remember - the older you get, the better you were!

1st National A: Tiverton, 2wd. 2003. Qualified 4th, finished 2nd. Aged 16.

Gained F1 in 2001 I believe... aged 14, think I finished 28th in 2wd to gain it.

Youngest ever national A finalist was Craig Drescher and I THINK he was aged 10, could have been 9... I wasn't racing then, have just heard the story.

woOdy 15-09-2008 06:48 PM

I did it in 1993, At Bury Metro and I qualified 2nd. Age was 18 but I have an even better one than that! It was with a TRAXXAS????????:woot: Didnt do very well in the finals but the year after I won every leg and I got called rotten for it. Horses for courses, they called it. Has anyone else won at there home track? Let me think! Did they get called it. NO.

matdodd 15-09-2008 07:24 PM

I got F1 in 2000 & my First National A final was Tiverton 2003 Q5th F4th!

ashleyb4 15-09-2008 07:32 PM

_sleigh_ 15-09-2008 08:45 PM

Gained my F1 back in '99, and barring a year break due to none racing I've had it ever since. Not sure ont he year of my first national A, but I remember it was at Aylesbury in 2WD running a borrowed XXX KE. Can't even remember where I qualified or finished (how bad is that).
