Sounds we should first expose the "legends" or old timers of R/C In Canada.

BC Old timers:

Bernie, Wes, Mike Tapp, Jerry Koga, Milt, Fife, Arson, R/C Steve, Gerry ( cant remeber his last name) Ron Halford, Ian Chesterton, Randy Shanz (RIP) Grant, Pete, Lee, Richard Porta, Branson?? What was his name? Mike Gardner, Alen, John Ha, Mike Savoir,

Who is still active? who do you remember?

Rob, I practiced at the track, We have a campground just up the hill, I use to go to that little track every summer. ( the shop had a ton of Hotrick ) stuff.

My first race was @ Bermbusters, I raced my JRX2 in Novice, Met a good friend that day who was also racing for the 1st time ( Clayton Petree) over the 3 qualifyers, it was back and forth between Clayton and myself for TQ, He ended up winning the main by a corner.. ( remember...Horn Blow...Stop your cars..) LOL primitive lap counting but so much fun.

For me, I have no question if it wasnt for the above mentioned I would not be where I am today.. Thanks goes out to all the old timers.
