Here are the photos I took at the Vintage Showdown:

There's really no rules at Vonats. :lol:

Fun ! So I can bring my new toy ?! :mrgreen:

Thanks to everyone that made it out! a little over 100 vintage entries, so roughly double what we had last year!

I actually took some photos this year:

I think a control tire that, frankly, doesn't work very well (as in low grip) would be good. It would be the same for everyone and would promote better racing. Cars sliding away from the apex creates passing opportunities. The super high grip we...

I think the 17 turn brushed motor rule is kinda cool, it would definitely make things interesting. Will everyone bring their motor lathes to the track like the old days.

Link to today's mains.

Spain's Juan Carlos Canas and US's Mason Fuller are very fast in e buggy and should make for an entertaining A main.
This is Jered Tebo's final race and Ty Tessman's last race with X-ray - says he doesn't know where he's...

Last race of the season on Saturday. If you're close, bring out the old stuff. 2wd and stadium truck.

It's a 4.5 hr trek for me. With my luck there probably wouldn't be anything that catches my eye except some vintage dirt.

Awe sweet, it's only a 13 hour cruise :lol: But that would be really cool to go to if it were within reasonable distance....

It was great running with everyone at the VONATS! Hopefully next year I'll spend less time fixing cars and more time being social.
My spur gear held up until the 3rd minute of the D-Main. :-) I reviewed the video of my races. I need more confidence...

Wow, sorry guys. I should have posted these here a long time ago. I only took a few photos because I was running around a lot. Sorry for the graininess of the photos, it was a little dark inside World of RC and I didn't have a fast enough lens on...

Hmmmm. It is only a ~4 hour drive...will have to look into it. The link is blocked at work :? so I can't see the details. Thanks for posting this! I hadn't heard of it. :D

Hmmm link is in a different language sorry guys

Yeah the short turn in at the left side lineup was critical for me. If I wasn't on the right side of the track to hit the first double right that second one led to disaster. I think almost every screw on my b2 was loose after the mains.

Who's racing what pre-1995 car for the vintage class???

Love it!

Not sure if you were only looking for carpet, but Cal raceway in OC might be a smooth enough outdoor track.

The jump sequence on the back was a little easier on Friday when the grip was lower and you can run the chassis higher. As the grip level came up, for me at least, I had to drop the car down and run stiffer springs, especially up front and...

Is this a yearly event? Looking for a vintage meet in so cal.

Last year was to be the inaugural event. Didn't happen because of Covid. I haven't heard anything about trying it again.

The only place I know of in CA that has some vintage races is...

It's close for me. I take the 10talk party bus.

Buyout clause is popular with full scale racing. Enduro/demolition derby type stuff.

Anyone have any pictures posted of this race? Would love to see some cars at the event.

Holeshots are popular. I run double dees. Ribs up front.

Had a good time yesterday. I ran my son's rere Worlds car since none of my stuff was ready. Qualified 3rd but had a rough main. Here are some pics off the track. Also a link to the vintage pics taken by a photog at the track. Looking forward to in...

I've considered drilling straight through it and stuffing in a rolled pin to create a spool. It would be much easier to just lock a gear diff with silicone putty or JB.

that's a bummer. I've been thinking I need to run something soon....at this point I really don't care if it's carpet or clay. really wish there were closer tracks.

Erich Reichert

he's not often on the boards these days but you can hit him up on facebook.

Something would have to give in the program. The weekend is already quite packed.

I’m in az and would love to get a group together 4 cars makes a class at hobby action from what I understand.
After the Kinwald classic I got my old rc10 out and started getting it ready for the track.
It should be ready in January.

anyone in palm beach or surrounding are on here that wants to do a get together? im trying to get a few guys racing vintage at the local track and would love to fill in the ranks with newcomers and other vintage guys. if your not into raing id still...

Where in central Florida are they racing vintage cars?

Ahh, oops. :oops:
I was thinking of Mike's Hobby Superstore. :D
Wild Bill's is still in biz. I'll check that out. The Indy RC one looks epic! You can bet I'm gonna be there someday soon!

Yep, a couple of us were there. 8)

Absolutely. Always happy to see more racers on Sunday. Great bunch of people down here. Here's a link to some of our races on video

in a world of over prepped tracks nice to see the pros struggling with jumps and traction. - RCveteran

Those were my thoughts as well. Seeing how hard they are working to keep their cars pointed in the right direction made me think I would have no...

There are some IFMAR OR videos on this site. I'm pretty sure you are in there somewhere!
