You must know me as I went to Oakdale, Abergavenny, Cobra and the other Cardiff Club, as well as Newport and Caerwent.
Actually that rings a bell about the cells. Gutted.

I normally go by the name of craig macdonald
I used to race a tamiya madcap and a super astute in the early 90's at cobra, and the occasional round of the welsh - i remember an extremely muddy race at abergavenny where I managed to finish 3rd in the e final by getting a mate to change my batteries mid race
I was the typical 14 yr old racer who didn't really look after his gear and rarely finished a heat due to something becoming de-soldered or something.
the cell shorting happened on the way to rumney high school on a friday club night (I went to school there and arranged for the club to use the newly resurfaced sports annex).
I then made another 'comeback' in 2000, winning a round of the WRCA at a muddy caldicot in the 27t 2WD class, using matt summerhayes' fireblade, despite managing to lock the keys to my hire car in the boot. the RAC bloke turned up two mins before the start of the final and opened the boot with a clever inflatable bag, allowing me to get the car and transmitter; I then went up onto the rostrum and won the A. fairy tale stuff. I was using the astute rib/pin tyres on the front and they worked a treat.
