Wow, nice job finding photos of that car. The paint scheme is very nice looking.

I heard that many years ago there was a race where the racers where all given an off the shelf "Dustbuster" portable vacume. The racers then took it apart to harvest the 4 sub C's and the 540 motor and wired it in their 1/12 cars. Would anyone have any info on that race? Maybe a magazine article?

I do not remember the year , But i was in that race, We all had to put a dustbuster motor and batt's in are cars and run 8 minutes. There were some very creative people when it came to tweaking the motors, I think we had all one color painted body's with are names on the sides also. But i do not remember who won, But i bet they did not pass tech. LOL
I keep thinking this was not done in cleveland but with one of john thawley's races in detroit somewhere. I could be wrong though.

Mike, it was put on by Ted McCarthy in Grand Rapids at a race called the Winter Champs. I think it was 1989, but I vividly remember you were on pole for the modified race. This was my first national event in RC cars and I had an amazing time. I was in the same main with Vicky and she was only half as tall as me.

Here is my Fiberglass 12L, its almost done, just needs a few more parts replaced, but thought it would be ready to show. I am in the middle of painting a 1/12 McAllister for it, which will be posted up later as a follow up once finished. It has a few more kinks to be worked out but other than that this is how she will look.
Note: Had to make my own diffuser as the Tecnacraft Pod did not have one at the time. And I know the BSR's are not vintage, they were just right to clear the ball joints.
