Hey Paul
I simply can't believe i have found this thread leading all the way back to 2005, simply insane. Crikey, what a hall of fame of all the past drivers at Surrey Radio Control Car Club. Paul I ran into your brother a few times last year and never got around to talking about yourself. I remember those days of us practising in the back garden of our houses practicing ready for the race meets at Sandown.
Its so pleasing to read you still race, is that still the case?
Mark Sadler, such sad news to hear of your dads passing, I am sure like many he was the face of SRCCC and your mum Jackie. Remember those time so fondly, always very open and welcoming.
I have literally in the past three or four weeks got back into the rc cars, after spending many years flying planes, but the competition element is simply not there for me so I am now racing GT12 Superstox class.
One of my reasons for coming on here was to see if there are many others still living in the Surrey area that might like to rekindle the old SRCCC back together and get a good honest club back running in Surrey. What an achievement that would be.. I can but dream..
Anyhow, would love to hear more tales from the Sandown days... Sadly, my memory fails me at the best of times and names like Mark and James sadler, Guy Walker and Bob and of course my pit partner Paul M are the only real name i can remember. Oh, and Andy Hogg... he was a plane enthusiast too, which is maybe why I remember him.
Great to reminisce and hope I can inspire to more links to the thread.
Best Wishes
Stuart Cartwright
