The aluminum end Trinity motor is an actual new (with box, container, paperwork) beauty. I've been after a pink label for awhile.

Wooooooowww! That's a nice motor. There are a few of them about, but not NIB.

I don't have a lot of specific stories to tell, just that we had total freedom back then. We could go pretty much anywhere at any time as long as we were home before dark. We never got into any trouble and no one ever bothered us. I especially remember that there was a store about 2 miles from my gr...

47 seems about right. I am 55. I was in my early-mid 20s back when he destroyed us all on a weekly basis at the track in KY. He was still in high school at that time.

To me the car is a total rip-off of Jeff's kit...looks nothing like the prototype car that ran in the IFMAR 's that they are promoting in they're ads online...and it's not an opinion..it's a fact. I am curious to see if it will be legal for vintage racing. Technically it IS a re-re (of Jeff's car f...

I noticed that just as I was about to click on it. Nope.

I'm waiting for amain. At least I get points there :mrgreen: Wait... So AE effectively cloned (stole) your design and now you're gonna buy one? Shouldn't they send you a car as partial payment?? Clearly, you're taking this better than I would have. :) This kit costs $120 more than a Pro CAT, so the...
