[QUOTE=Rick Hohwart;7525316]It was only run at Socal once at the supermarket location.

Wow. I guess I've been in RC a lot longer than I thought. I remember watching that race; it was the first time I saw Masami.

I turned 8 in 1994. Haha.

The Reedy Top Gun began well after the first Reedy Race of Champions. I don't think Hobby Haven existed when that first Reedy Race was run at Hot Trax.

The Top Gun used the standard qualifying/mains race format but I don't recall any of the winners.

I still have this shirt, cool huh Chris?

Got anymore? I need a new one.

I started at RCH in Costa Mesa.

Rick, you may remember, I ran a Peak stock motor forever (the same one) and you said I should put it in a glass case cuz it was so good.

+1 for the Reedy International Offroad Race of Champions

2w and 4w mod.

Masami was always the hi lite for me, International flavor at it's best.

WOW Craig! I wish my A&L shirt was still alive...

I don't remember if it was Rick Houle (sp?) or Vince Ito that did the artwork on that one. I'm leaning toward Rick....

I have a few vintage company shirts still I'll have to dig them out.

Good info rick thanks..
By the way I saw you race up at Alabama on rclive I think you were there...
And Randy Pike was too...I watched most of the races...about ready to get
back on there and watch some more pro's race.
I know who won the IFMAR WORLDS IN 1987 legendary driver Joel Johnson with a Kyosho Ultima with a carbon fiber chassis on it. But the Reedy Race
I thought that was on-road but I may be wrong...
