Besty and Bormac's vintage buggy run.
It's been a while since we've been track side so we figured it was due time for a run and with Besty's son Dylan recently receiving his first 'real' r/c car for his birthday it was high time we gave him some time away from back yard bashing and a chance to put a few laps on his new ride.
Matt (Chris's good mate) also joined us and we had all pre-arranged to bring a Tamiya FROG to run for a few laughs.
The venue was Castle Hill/Sydney and the weather was nice enough for a few hours of running. I managed to snap a few pics along the way so you'll see below.
Dylan managed a good run with his revamped Baja Champ sporting a 13T brushless Hobby Wing unit, Spektrum radio and Lipo batteries. Possibly a little too fast for him but guaranteed to put a smile on the face of the little man . Sadly the drive ended with a loud bang as the Baja Cjamp came hurtling down the straight and into a fence. A cracked main chassis put the brakes on his ride but Im sure with a few parts he'll be up and going again.
The Frog's were fun. Not a real lot of speed from a silver can motor but they all managed to get around over a few laughs.
It was good to have a run again. Thanks for reading.

So you guys ran NINE vintage cars? That's a lot of clean up! It's cool to see these cars with mud on them - reminds me what they're for!

Re: Besty and Bormac's vintage buggy run.
Yeah, It was a lot of fun.
Dylan was a bit cut up about his crash but he got over it pretty quick.
I will post up some pics tonight.
It is really cool to see all the old cars tearing up the track and the Frog run was tops. I never had one as a kid so it is cool to see a few of them tearing up (lol) the track. More like bouncing around the track and doing 180s at each corner. Frog tyres arent much good on hard surfaces.

Outstanding picutres, thanks! I wish we had as great a place to run. Our track is indoors since it rains so much.

Re: Besty and Bormac's vintage buggy run.
Yes its a good track. It is about an hours drive though so we dont get there as much as we would like.
Looks like they are doing a few changes there at the moment.
I would love to go to a full size indoor track some day. That would be cool.
Apparentley we will be getting a new outdoor track about 20mins away from my place.
But we will see.
Good news is that Dylans ride cost $24 to fix. I am going to refit a sports tuned for a while
