Pole Position :lol: I had that on 7" floppy in the 80's. Ivan Ironman Stewart was my arcade weakness. I can hear “Prepare to qualify” in my head from the Pole Position arcade at my local pizza joint to this day. I always did the late turn in to corners where you spin the wheel super fast and c...

Bumping this old thread to see if anyone here has used this exchange program recently. I’m planning to build my RC10 40th with all modern Reedy components and just read about program. Looks like great deals (first one’s on me, they you gotta pay sort of thing!). I’m 100% new to AE so sorry if this i...
