93 for me with a Tamiya Madcap that lasted about 2 weeks before changing to an Optima Mid...
Raced seriously through to 2001 (end of) doing Nat's from 96 and competing at 4 Euro's & 1 Worlds (3 Euro A Finals in that time and actually 4th at the 4wd 2001 Euro's I proudly add) then packed up... Picked up a Radio again to have a play in 2007 doing the F2's as the only "Serious" meeting and then did a few meetings on and off until 09 but have got married and had a Baby since then so no time and not enough £££ to start racing again (not at the level i'd want to do it at anyway)... It's a great sport though, i think the best Father & Son motorsport out there really.........safe, fun, great social side and you get to travel all around the country! I like catching up on here and seeing what old friends are up to and how they're doing, but the best part for me is seeing how well Lee has gone on to do (and is still doing so) as I was there at the very start of his racing career (literally the first meeting) so it's really good to see him doing so well.

1985 with a Grasshopper was my first 'race' - having had a Tamiya Holiday Buggy since 1981 but nowhere to race it.

1988 with a Lancia 037 (Frog basically) and gave up 1994.
Always wished I had kept the Lancia, but managed to track down one in much better condition than the one that I used for racing on ebay so snapped it up. Did T/C for a year in 2000 and didnt enjoy it but offroad was dead in Scotland. 2010 started again with a B44, planning to race as much as I can spare time this year, it still amazes me how much time my father committed to me when I raced. It was at least once a week, sometimes more. I could never manage anything close to that now.

Started with Scalextric in the summer of 1994, switched to rc the year after. Took a 5 year break in 2000, started back about 2 months before the TC4 was launched.
