Forum members or people in the Industry? I don't have pics (who knew I'd or anybody else would think RC would make it this long)
but I have met alot of notable people back in the day. I'm 55 and was into RC back when Associated first came out with the RC10. Yeah I don't have any of the old cars any more. Sold them CHEAP way back then. What a Dumbass I am.

I was on a working holiday for 6 months in the U.K.

I met some really nice guys through my racing in the U.K. The first was Daryn Boyle from D.M.S Racing who helped me out so much to set up my cars for grass tracks & a toured the U.K with him doing the BRCA series. A young charger was with us too by the surname of Bloomfield (forgot his first name) who is now a top U.K driver.

While I was there I managed to arrange a factory tour of Schumacher. There I met Phil Booth, Robin & Cecial Schumacher. Was a real pleasure meeting these guys. Right next door to their factory is Coworth Engineering. Gee I was just in cloud 9.

Cheers
Mark

A lot of friendly people amongst these pages. I had the oportunity to meet Scott - MelvinsArmy - a few months back after following an eBay transaction and unfortunately, on my part, it was an uber fast meet because although I managed to sneak away from work, i had to rush right back. as usual... haha. very nice guy

I'm hoping to meet Dave (Diamond Dave) one day as he is in Calgary! And (aip47-2008) as he's in Spokane and I go there every once in a while! :wink: There are some other Alberta members that I hope to meet some day!

Should have met Brian (RC10resto) but missed that! :roll: :lol: I wish I could meet so many of you guys, but that may not be mutual! :lol: :mrgreen:
Need to update this, as I got to meet and have a nice chat with Aaron (aip47-2008) in Spokane last week. Also met Dave (Diamond Dave) a while back, as well as Marc (Coelacanth), wydraz and Kenooze. All such nice people! 8)

I've met Diamond Dave & Rod (slotcarrod), a couple cow-towners (Calgary, Alberta)...a couple of cool dudes! Unfortunately I haven't had much opportunity to get back to Calgary, but y'all will have to let me know if you drive up the road to Edmonton. :)

Mark (markt311, which I also race with regularly at the Thunder RC), Brian (Bscotti), Scott (melvinsarmy), Anthony (aconsola), Jay (badhoopty), Erich Reichert, Ryan (reign 79), Freddy (tecnica2001), Bill (Clinehobbies), Jay (Mrlexan), Jason (scr8p), Mark Westerfield, Ed (soniccj5), Dan ([email protected]), Tim (covell2), Mike Valentine, Kaiser, Jake (bigjeepz), Raul Garcia, Jeff (civilguy), tazz888, and last but certainly not least, Rick (the bearrickster).
Easier for me to quote this then type it. I've met 95% of that list plus hcp22, jopp3 and 85edinger.
