Your right Jim as I recall, Dave Peels Hotshot was pink!! Thats a blast from the past. There were the Peel's, Garnet's, Bob Spivey, Clive Corser (massive hair) Hudson Brothers (now my step brothers) Dick Batty, Paul Carrington who raced at TAP who I think went on to be quite a successful driver, a lad called Rob Bennison with a Hirobo, the 1 without a body, just a roll cage and countless others. I raced a Kyosho Scorpion there then went on to an Optima but my 1st race was at Crossroads Primary School with a 380 Holiday Buggy! the other lad was Bob Spivey with a Rough Rider. He won!!! That was in the day when 8th stock cars were far more popular than 1/10th off road. Eh, them were the days, jumpers for goal post etc etc. Damien, how many links did you take out of the Optima chain before you had to get a new 1, think I got to 6 and the amount of times I had the Scorpion chassis rails in the vice to straighten them out. Would be great fun to have a vintage race class for a laugh. I saw Dave Peel senior at an MG car run last year, he's still going strong, say he has loads of old stuff still in his loft. Peel jnr is married kids etc but I dont know about the Garnets. Who was that little kid about 7 or 8 years old that used to kick our arses down at Ball Grove?
