If you'd used Trinity servo tape she'd have no worries. :wink: A clean pull every time! :mrgreen:

The first trophy I won was for 2nd place in the 2wd A final, it was only a club meeting but it was my first ever venture out onto a proper outdoors off road track, i'm not sure if I've still got the trophy - it may have been thrown out recently as my dad has been sorting out the loft :| But there's definately a photo of me somewhere with the trophy & my Schumacher Cougar taken just after the meeting when we got home.... I can distinctly remember how excited I was & how proud my dad was of me :)

We seemed to get trophys for almost every meeting we went to (apart from midweek club racing) now it seems very rare to recieve one.... in fact I was supposed to have collected three trophies for various series wins over the last few years but I missed out on the presentation meeting for one & the other two the club just couldn't be bothered to buy any (despite their fairly high entry fee) :(

I still have on display the more 'important' trophys (or the ones that mean the most) at home on & in my cabinet in the living room :D

I'm sure I saved that trophy, but can't seem to find it anywhere :|

P.S; what a spotty looking 'oik' I was lol!

I could care less for 'the win' or trophys now day but it is nice to receive something in return for a great day out at the track.

Here's my first trophy back in 1988 when my Optima placed in the 540 class at BORMAC back then.

i believe it was the late great "BIG JIM" who always use to say "yeah, we race toy cars for bowling trophies!" that last picture reminded me of exactlay that.

Yay, I got my first trophy last week at the 2012 vintage festival

Third place in pipe frame driving a Mugen Bulldog

(Cant decide if the trophy was worth the busted rollcage though lol)
