"In any case, I would never be seen with any type of "crappo-ciated" contraption - to all the "sheep" using B4's - for me it's Losi or nothing !"

Well said Mr Sola, Im glad someone out there can think for themselves and not buy into the whole B4 drone gang. More power to ya!

A little birdie tells me you're not good enough to pilot a B4, Jason.....

I have multiple Losi and ASSociated products..... guess that makes me some sort of RC trollop.... lol....

Thank god for the Vintage Enduro, giving Schumachers and Tamiyas a chance to race again....

Last year was a whole lot of fun but this year is definately shaping up to be much bigger and better. With a few of us making the trip from out of state,we will be making the most of the weekend and the days leading up to it. 'BEER AND STEAK ANYONE?'
Also Mr Willy Chang went to a lot of trouble last year making up some fun decals to go onto our cars and a very big effort to take all the pics he could with his SLR camera when he wasnt filming the live action on the track with his Egress 'Camera Car'. Well done again WC, what will you have in store for us this year??
If anyone else has access to a descent still camera or even video please bring them along and help us record al the action and highlights of the day.

Anyone game to confirm what cars they will be running?
I thought I'd give you boys a "glimpse" of the Solamobile (study closely ) ...in black and white to stay with the vintage theme

Nice..very nice Mr Sola. A JRX PROse with an 'X2' 5 link rear end. Is this an old car of yours from back in the day? You're going to have a great time being educated by Darryn on how 'over the line' vintage your car is- he he. Personaly I like the fact you are interested enough to come and enjoy the day with us. Vintage meets are all about pulling some old girl from the attic,back of an old robe or from where ever and breathing new life into an old flame. I cant wait to see her in action-

Yeah, it's pretty much the car I used at the 1990 SA state titles

It's my old Jrx2 with pro-se front arms ,shocks & shock towers (carbon chassis) - see what Darryn brings down, it may have full Jrx2 bits on it by race day.
