My Mum and Dad were racing nitro power boats before I was born, they were pretty good aswell, got a few mags from the early 70's which they are mentioned in. Mum was racing R/C offshore power boats whilst 9 months pregnant with me so I guess you could say R/C is pre-programmed into me.
I pretty much had a transmiter shoved at me as soon as I could get my hands round it and got my very own Tamiya Holiday Buggy in '81 or '82 and the rest is history
