I must be really older than most of you, and I'm 36...I remember going there in 1980/81 when my brother and I got a Tamiya Sand Scorcher and Rough Rider, and I believe in 1983, my father got himself the Super Champ! I wasn't a racer, but we used to go there for all of our parts. My brother got the first RC-10 (gold chassis) and I got my Yokomo Dogfighter (chain driven 4WD) there as well. I remember when the main track was the on-road right behind the shop, and the back was off-road. Then they got rid of the on-road by putting dirt all over it. I don't remember time-frames of all the changes, but that place was my candy store when I was a kid.
