Honestly, there's about 50 other vintage cars that are ahead of this car in that description.

Still neat, but hardly...

I was kind of thinking the same thing. What about Cliff Lett's 90-something MPH RC10(L?)? That was at Thunderdrome right?

Who is Cliff Lett?

An old school Associated guy. A quick yahoo search turned this up, but I didn't see the particular car I was thinking of.

the lehigh valley velodrome is about 20 mins. or so from my house. they had a few r/c races there back in the day. i raced there once with my a.r.t. agitator. i wish i had gone more. it was alot of fun running around a big ass banked track like that.

A bit more than that, he's Associateds product development manager. He's been responsible for designing every Associated car made since 1988.


A couple of nice old school oval racing videos including the 92 Thunderdrome are here http://www.rcthunder.net/tv.htm
