Cool, looked like fun! Bit difficult to make out any of the other cars other than the Terra-Scorcher -being followed by the camera. I think I can make out some CATs, RC10s & a Yokomo.... (was the other blue/white car a TopCat??) Did anyone take/post up any static pictures of the cars??

So,no clay in the end?

So how did the vintage cars compare to the brand spanking new ones?

Cant compare mid vs rear on astro...

The vintage only ran against each other and on the astro not on the clay!!!

Dan there was no Topcat there mate.........btw happy birthday

Mick

It was a real shame they couldnt race them on the clay, but I suppose they wanted to keep the track nice for the main event the following day.

As for lap times I'll see if there are any around but as they vintage were on the astro track and the new cars on the clay you cant compare the two.

I get the car back tomorrow night so will get some pics of it as it was taken from the track.

Thank you

Really buzzed that the UK has a clay track... I didn't realise RHR had built this until I started reading posts about the Oople race... I think if the vintage cars were able to run on the clay the times would be quite suprising - would love to get my XX on there thats for sure!

And don't forget that MRC: I didn't expect to see that running!

Picked the car up from Nathan last night at local club meeting. He loved driving the Cougar, he put on the works rear hubs and tried the works front arms but it had too much front droop so stayed with the Cougar 1 arms.

One thing for next time is to try the works front arms and Cougar 2 tower, this should give the right amount of droop.

Some pics as the car was taken from the track:











The team name, a combo of our names, Niggs and Headling! Niggling lol

So it's going to be cleaned and popped on the shelf till next years race where Nathan will defend his title!

Thanks again for all the help guys.

so no gear cover in the end, eh?

nice looking cougar!
