Old School Racer Making a Comeback...?
It's been a while since I made an intro on a forum but here goes...
I started racing at my local club in around 1992, racing my newly purchased Tamiya Escort Cosworth. The bug bit and I became a keen R/C racer! I did around 8 years of racing before I quit in favour of the real thing, as I passed my driving test in 1999 and the appeal of cars, alcohol and girls was just too much to resist... Fast forward to 2019 and a guy at work tells me that he's looking at racing R/C cars after a long sabbatical, so after telling him my story I joined him at a nearby club to have a look. They had a club car that was available to hire so I had a go, and to my surprise I could still race, over 18 years later! I'm completely clueless about modern cars, apart from what I've learned from the local club, so I thought I'd join a forum... And here I am! Steve |
Welcome back!
This time last year I was in exactly the same predicament, although my beer, bikes and women phase lasted 30 years. ;) It won't take long to get acquainted with the latest tech, don't be bewildered by any of it. :) |
Thanks mate!
Hardest part is deciding what to race... 1/10, 1/12, buggy or touring car!? The local club caters for all so I've got a decision to make! |
Blimey, which club is that?
Only you can make that choice, it's what appeals to you most. For me, it has always been and always will be off road - currently have a 4WD, 2WD, Short course truck and now dabbling with an 1/8th nitro too. Being an old WRC Rally fan I think helped sway my decision back in the 80's! Plus, I like being outdoors. :) |
Stoke-on-Trent, although I live over in Cannock which is a bit of trek.
I've been offered a Schumacher MI6 Evo for what I'm told is a good price. I'm assuming they're a good chassis being Schumacher!? |
