Hey there...I've been here only a couple of weeks, so I figured I'd give you a little info about me

I'm 37 - married 4 years (to probably the BEST R/C wife on the planet - well at least one that's not a racer) with 1 little girl and live in Philadelphia, PA. Race all over PA/NJ/DE/MD - now working on getting my vintage stuff together for the Vintage Nats in September. When I'm not racing or spending time with my family, I work as a Casino Data System Engineer for a Racetrack/Casino in Delaware - not the best hours, but helps "support" my hobbies Been into R/C since the mid-80's - my first R/C car was a Tamiya Falcon (which I just recently re-acquired). Took some time off for college and working. Got heavily back into racing in '99 and been going fullbore ever since

Mainly an on-road guy, but have my "roots" in off-road - but I have enough equipment to basically race anything anytime or any kind of track.

Glad I stumbled across this site

Hello,
My name is David, I've been lurking for a while and finally signed up. I got my first RC10 when I was 8 and definately influenced my life. I got out of the sport in 92 and just got back into it recently. I bought a B44 and B4 with a brushless/lipo setup and couldn't be happier. My how things have changed over the years. However I miss the good old days of my youth and recently acquired a RC10 to do some vintage racing. This board has been an invaluable source of info and hopefully will be able to meet a few more members soon! This is a whole lot cheaper than motorcycle racing thats for sure.

I was a 1/12 scale racer in 90/91. I was a regular spectator at the Ranch Pit Shop.. Before that I had a Blackfoot with the THORP and CRP catalogs bolted on.. My brother was the RC/10 Off roader. He still has his rig hiding in the garage, we are "still" looking for it. .

I am a Ford Dealer Master Technician (Automatic Trans Specialist) in Southern California.

For all things R/C, I am only a collector now....

My name is Ron, 32 , work for Uncle Sam as an auto techncian for the USPS.

Been racing r/c for 20 years. Express Motorsports team driver.... http://www.express-motorsports.net

Hi there!! I'm 40 and a installer of architectural door's and hardware. I've been into this hobby since i got a tamiya frog back in 1984 along with a RC10 and have been hooked ever since. I've been collecting/hoarding old r/c cars and parts for as long as I can remember. Some of you may reconize my username from ebay ,as i'm a full blown junkie with that but helps fuel the wallet for buying more r/c things. Other hobbys include anything thats motorized, antique Briggs n Stratton engines, vintage lawn tractors,dirt bikes and old cars. I have a '76 Trans am that i spend more time under it then in it. I'm happily married with 0 kids( yet) and still trying to get my wife to let me put the edinger on the fireplace mantel..LOL!! Here's a pic of me at the statue of liberty repairing a door ( how exciting) glad to be a part of this great site!!
