First got my hands on a TX early 1977 Tamiya Porsche 934 Turbo RSR. Ilkeston Model Car Club (Now Broxtowe Model Car Club) was established 1978. Started by racing round petrol pumps at a local garage, then went into a small hall run by the Girl Guides. Track was marked out by 3 paint cans filled with concrete. Frist off road track the club had was on Cosall Coal Tip, first meeting was won by Derek Bailey (Dad of Dave Bailey from 1/8th Buggy racing). Then we went to Munday Arms Pub at Heanor in Derbyshire. Will try and remember more at a later date.Now i'm feeling old and depresed.
