I started attempting to race about a year ago, it was last winter anyway. I got my B4 not long after the outdoor/summer season ended, so first few times out with it were at indoor regionals, and a couple of rather cold outdoor races at the Bury Metro track.
I haven't seen any improvement in my racing over the last year, I still prefer to call it 'driving my B4 around the track at random' rather than racing, but still it's fun

I started on the 1st september 2002 at batley outdoors with a Losi XXX CR that I bought 2nd hand off ebay for playing with in the woods. it was a bit too nice for that so started racing with my lrp quantum pro and lrp phase4 14x2 motor and KO2123 servo!

I collected vintage RC before that, and played with my tamiya mini

Don't get Mr Whittle on this, he's been at it since Marconi invented radio, as you can tell from the lack of hair.

I started racing in 1990ish but had toy radio controlled cars before my first car in kit form (Tamiya Manta ray which was converted to a topforce evo which I still have)

Started around 88 with a Kyosho Raider, I moved to a Lazer ZXR few years later to run regionals and Spain national championship. I parked the car many years and now I came back with a BX.
