Yes Ted, we do seem to have our similarities, apart from our age !
Son Josh started in RC twelve years ago when he was 9 years old. I built his first car - a Tamiya, what else, and prepped it for him.
I still build, prepare and sometimes test his cars, and enjoy every bit of it. In turn he gives satisfying results - 6 National championships and well on his way to another this year. He's had 4 of those National championships with a TC3 I prepare, so I feel I have my part in the success.
I'm also president and general dogs body for our club. I do all the organising and rarely get thanked, but that's normal. In between running meetings and listening to everybody's complaints I do a bit of racing myself too, with a Yoke CGM.
We have our Christmas meeting this weekend. Let's hope the weather holds. It's difficult enough for me in the dry!!!!!!!
But we do have fun, and occasionally we kick some kids ass. And that's double value.
