Well you could class me as an old-school Aussie racer.
I started back in 1984 with a Marui Hunter, then followed many years of mainly off-road with some 1/12th with more different cars than you can imagine until I finally took a break in 2001 to settle down with family etc.
Returned properly in 2004 in Touring cars and have now just returned to my off-road roots - still struggling to remember how to do the jumps and bumps
I am also a vintage collector which ensures than I'm constantly poor!!
My claim to fame is making 4 National A-Mains (in Oz the Nationals are a once-a-year event) and finishing in the top 3 on 3 occasions in my State championships.
Unfortunately I have rather less talent nowadays
but at least I'm still having fun.
