I'm sure many have seen this page already, but I wanted to post it just in case. The text is 99% japanese, but the pics are marvellous!!!


A Lucky Strike BAR Honda sponsored TRF'ish Boomerang! How übercool is that?!

(pic from site)

Just bought a NIB baby like this, a Kyosho Progress 4WDS, which I had as a kid. It's grooby baby!

Must say some of the pics on this site are worthy of being called "oople'ish"!

I think that first pic is of a Boomerang, not an Egress btw.

I'm gonna hop up a rerelease Hotshot with modern tires and see how far behind it's laptime wise... We'll be running a retro-class in 2008 at every 1:10 OR Nats round next year, it's gonna be big fun!


Modernized vs. Mint...

Haven't you guys heard of birth control? You are overpopulated!

We're normally 20 drivers saturday, the same on sunday... so we have LOTS of room for fun classes...

Rules will be:
-brushed motors, max. 19 turs
-not newer than 1990 models

Other than that do as you like, it's just for fun! We're thinking about giving extra points for vintage hairdo, clothing etc...

Move up north and you will be an A-driver!

If any of you guys wanna fly to Norway and race with us you are most welcome!

Boomerang (first 1/10th car I ever owned) in the BAR colours at the front, left rear is a Mk1 Grasshopper MK2 (first 1/10th car I ever drove) in box art colours.

Then the EGRESS bodyshell in silver to the rear right hand side! Not sure what chassis it is on though ..... might be a madcap

I have always wanted an Egress!!!! I was due to have one as my 1991 season 4WD (to go with the Asute I was running in 2wd) to replace the Lazer ZX I had been running (after a string of Mid Optimas) but unfortunately my father passed away the day before it was due to arrive at Puma Racing. There was no way I was going to be able to race (my mother doesn't drive) and we couldn't afford it anyway so I had to ring up and cancel it. Since then I've always wanted one. Driven an Avante 2001 which handled similarly and found it to be one of the smoothest, easiest to drive cars I'd driven to that date.

Anybody got an Egress?????
