I remember a time before the hall pictured, when we were up stairs with two adjoining small halls. One for the pits and one for the track. The rostrum was just a couple of gym benches.
We had std class and modified class instead of 2 and 4 wheel drive. NICADs were the battery of choice with 1200mah and optima, hot shots and cats (the first one) were doing battle.
I was also only a young lad but the anticipation for those Sunday afternoon was great. I won my first ever race i attended (ok it was the I final) with my hornet.
Ok. Back to been a 36 year old father of two!
Good luck with the new venture.
