Your racing history???

[Kash]

Did some Racing in the 80's at Stockton Buggy Club.
My first car was a Tamiya Striker but by the time i raced at the club i had a Tamiya Super Sabre.. Then quit after a very short period when parents wouldn't give me no funding. Starting back racing again in 2002 i think.

Started racing at Bury Metro in 1997 with a Tamiya Grasshopper, which led to an original RC10 with the nitted bath tub chassis.
Quit outdoor when the rostrum got burnt down,and went to touring cars.
Started offroad again in 2001-2003 then called it a day due to lack of funds.
now im back for the 2007 season with new car and new equipment

[losidan]

[cutting edge]

I started in 2000 what a year.............

[greyfox]

Started way back in June 1979, in the days when you had to get a Model Control licence from the Home Office (cost £2.80 for a 5 year licence) to legally use your radio control equipment.
Remember 3 speed mechanical speed controllers that had wire resistors that glowed like an electric fire when you hit the throttle, ball diffs hadn't been invented and all bodies were ABS plastic that split so easily.
I'll stop now otherwise I'll get all melancholy and dewy-eyed!

I think I started racing late 2003-early 2004 with a Traxxas bandit, and an old time dial based charger. Started racing competitivly late 2005, but my best results were from the 2006 racing season down here (Australia).

Started racing May 2004,

1/12th oval on carpet. Raced a full National Season last year and came 4th Overall.

Started racing my Yokomo Bx Jan this year and have had 2 club meetings to date.

Strange learning to turn left and not completing a lap in approx 3-4 secs

Throughly enjoying the new challenge.

[andy reeves]

well i started playing with cars when i was about 4 and started racing in about 1987ish at the cov track when it was at Ryton, also raced at Bedworth, GEC and Alcester when they used to race at Ragley hall. Raced until 1997ish when i stopped to concentrate on athletics then made a return back into the sport at the end of 2003 and wished i hadn't stopped as now i seam to be struggleing to get back to where i used to be but guess thats due to the fact that there doesn't seam to be as many club meetings about now so most of my racing seams to be at regionals during the summer.

[bigred5765]

I'm just a pit man now

[jimmy]

I am gonna pit for vicky this year as she is doing all the 2WD nationals (if she gets in), I only have my name down for a couple I think

[emzy]

Why aren't you racing Jimmy-man?

Are you doing 4wd?

[Yardeeee]

I started racing in february 1994. Just after my 7th birthday. I raced at Marston Model Car Club at their indoor venue- Pendeford High School in Wolverhampton. I began with a Schumacher Club 10 (like a cougar 2 but more basic) and after a few months got into 4wd full time with a CAT 2000. Back then, Rob (Bert Digler on here) was my hero, he was rapid, one of the kings of the club meets. :-D

Took a big step forward in 1997 when I made my 1st mid-west regional A final aged 10 at the Telford Hot Trax venue, won the under 13 title, and about a season later got my 1st sponsor in CML... and things have just continued... still love it now, dad still gets stressed and I've made a lot of good friends from the sport. If you've just started you're in for a lot of fun and good times!!

I started in 1990 with a Tamiya Kingcab I got for my 8th birthday. I still remember my first bod moment, first corner on the first lap of my first race - straight on at the end of the straight into the wall trying to keep up with everyone else (line starts in qually back then), snapped chassis

[neiloliver]

I started in 1986 with a Tamiya Falcon. Was one of the first 12 members of Shrewsbury South Radio Controlled Car Club (SSRCCC). Moved onto a Hotshot II and then a Super dog fighter. Went 2WD with a Schumacher Top Cat (pile of poo) and then gave up due to lack of funds and because i wanted to fill my Fiesta with Kenwood ICE.

Started again three years ago with a 2nd hand B3/Tekin Radio/old Batteries and Ranger Radio gear (just to see if I liked it again). Could not race at Shrewsbury because the track it is now a housing estate so went to Oswestry offering Jeff Stanton some RC2400 cells as a bribe. 5 months later I had my B4, 3300 cells, Ko radio and Quantum II ESC and was made Club Secretary. I also run the club website and have started Stormforce racing to sell cells in between racing and real work. You could say i am hooked again

Is that so you can sit on the track more and take 47 million pics instead on the normal 10 million?
