I started attempting to race about a year ago, it was last winter anyway. I got my B4 not long after the outdoor/summer season ended, so first few times out with it were at indoor regionals, and a couple of rather cold outdoor races at the Bury Metro track.
I haven't seen any improvement in my racing over the last year, I still prefer to call it 'driving my B4 around the track at random' rather than racing, but still it's fun :)

I started on the 1st september 2002 at batley outdoors with a Losi XXX CR that I bought 2nd hand off ebay for playing with in the woods. it was a bit too nice for that so started racing with my lrp quantum pro and lrp phase4 14x2 motor and KO2123 servo!

I collected vintage RC before that, and played with my tamiya mini

I started in 1991, quit in 95', came back in 99' for regional finals and won it with borrowed stuff( remember chris d?).:D

Don't get Mr Whittle on this, he's been at it since Marconi invented radio, as you can tell from the lack of hair.

I started racing in 1990ish but had toy radio controlled cars before my first car in kit form (Tamiya Manta ray which was converted to a topforce evo which I still have):)

Started around 88 with a Kyosho Raider, I moved to a Lazer ZXR few years later to run regionals and Spain national championship. I parked the car many years and now I came back with a BX.

Started racing around 1984 or 85 with a Mardave Apache at Blaby buggy club, at one time i raced upto 5 times a week back then as there were a lot in clubs in the area. Had a break for 10 years and started again end of 05. Highlight was winning the 2wd midland championships.

I started in '81 with a brand new Tamiya Holiday Buggy... took me nearly 10 years to win my region and did my first National season this year.
