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

First post might as well be "historic"-I first raced in about 1980 aged 11 or 12.Raced with Batley buggy club behind a pub when pretty much everyone drove Tamiyas! Was sponsored by my Dad which amounted to a Tamiya Sandrover with a 380 motor which I unsurprisingly ran into the ground.Also raced indoors at Batley sports centre when the pits used to be outside the hall in the corridor.Only real claim to fame was my massive self-built pitbox which housed all my gear-everyone laughed to see me try and carry it. Good times and I'm more than happy to return to the scene.

started racing origianally around 1988 ish with my local club being leicester, started with a tamiya hornet, then went on to a mardave metor fairly soon after , then went onto a schumacher top cat & cougar before finishing with the bath tub rc10's runing in the midlands rounds and rrc series and even entered th British Pairs championship race held in Leicester( chris d may remember that one ??) and then stopped racing around 1992 just to come back again sept 2006 so lookin forward to this season..

Thought I would join in!

Started messing about with a Tamiya Sandscorcher and Sandrover at about the age of 10 back in 83, we used to go to a school blackheath way and race, I started to race properly about 85 at Dudley with a Boomerang and then doing the Mid Champs with an Optima Mid Turbo, and then with persuasion from Mr Willetts I ran a Cat XLS, Parma Wide Chassis cat, then Pro Cat until I took a long break at the age of 17 and didn't race again till 25ish.
Never really done much results wise, had a few regional A's and A at the F3's just enjoy the racing and friends
