Jamie did win the '91 national championship with this http://www.tamiyaclub.com/article.asp?id=64
Jamies Astute did finish 7th in the '90 Euros with a car like this one http://www.tamiyaclub.com/article.asp?id=94 |
Dont forget he also won the euros with it, and boy did it go like stink. That manta ray was a work of art in Jamies hands. I enjoyed the nationals back then.
