What year did you first start racing?

[fivepointnine]

started back in 92ish raced until 94 then took a break until late 2013 lol.
I had a fully pimped LXT with the XX transmission, a RC10 team car with the Molded RPM worlds chassis and a XX-t when I finally quit racing. I started back up in 2013 with a DEX210, then a B4.2, then I have had a ton of different buggies, finally settling with Team C.

My first meeting was in '97 or '98 at what was High Wycombe Ministox Club racing a mardave v12. Still racing at wycombe but now it's Wycombe Radio Car Club (wrcc) in the bangers with similar cars. Making my touring debut finally on Sunday. Can't wait!

Tamiya Wild One, Mardave Meteor, Kellers of Norwich with a Schumacher CAT XLS, Tamiya VW Golf FWD, Cougar 2000 '95 Team. Schumacher Bosscat Works, TTech Predator, Back to the Midlands with a Schumacher Axis and Associated RC10 B4, USA and RC10 B4.1 WC, TC6.1 now also a Schumacher KF2.

Not been a regular racer for a couple of years, but need to work that one out!

It's been awesome, i've learnt so much about electrical and mechanical engineering i can't help but recommend it to anyone.

Yup, great clubs, great racers and always a full house at events. I do miss Cobra, Abergavenny, Newport and my favourite Caerwent clubs. First car I had was a Tamiya Hotshot and first raced with you and Dave at Tredegar park car rally. Sandra said that they would be there again a year later and I arrived again and then found out about clubs and thats when it all happened. I think that was 86 as in 89 I was racing the Lazer ZX.

2016 more of a crash fest than racing though.
