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

Still neat, but hardly...






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

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

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

This was the 111mph car that saw the Guinness Book of World Records as the first to pass the 100mph mark.
