I was tee boned honest
Wow that is a classic one i had forgot about.
I think i even finished the last few laps of the race like that, from memory it may have been a 20 minute enduro race

oh what memories, I still have that car, it is a Kyosho TF2 and the old Castrol Perkins commodore body is still in the shed.
That car and body combo won the 1997 modified state title at Kingston on the long track running an Ozchage 15 tripple motor and Sanyo 1700Mha nicads

The new site looks good.

I don't have any photos, but what I do have on VHS is a few races from back when the club was running at Goodwood Primary (including footage of the incident when someone went wide and took out the trestles holding up the table with the laptop).

When I get around to transferring it to a more current medium, you're quite welcome to all the footage.

And Rockers, we still have a Wild Willy race to re run

We did do that one year at one of the tracks, we had cars shining head lights on the track so we could get some pre title practice in as we were washed out during the day

forget the boats, they can sink and you will end up swimming at some stage in very cold water. Sounds like we need to get together some day to trade off some racing/golf skills

Yeah, I hear a few fish did not survive the experience after being zapped with 50 amps of LiPo power
