This was sent to me recently from a friend on Facebook. This was taken at the 1990 NM State championships. I am the guy in the striped shirt and I had 100% sun block on my nose, Hahaha... Oh the kid with the Goofy hat, wore that till he was about 18... He wore it everywhere, even to school. Ya I know what your thinking. he was a good kid though and passed away around 10 years ago or so. For the record though, that kid won a National Championship in 1/8 onroad and did it wearing that hat. The kid to my left is Scott Spear, he is a member here that goes by S.Spear.

First off, sorry about the picture of pictures! What's a scanner?

This old six gear made it to RC Car Action's Readers Rides! I still raced this even though I had a Team Car!




My CE with Stealth and Team Shocks



CE before all the Team Car upgrades

Christmas 1984, where it all started and our first hobby grade RC cars. Mine was the Brat and my brother's was the Holiday Buggy. I can remember the package. My gramps put them together for us. He left one of antenna wires on the Brat sticking through the box and put a cylinder wrapped with wrapping paper over it. I picked up the can and it just came off and I got yelled at for touching it. Look at just the wire, I had no idea what it was.

What my Brat morphed into

[mrlexan]

The 1/12 on roaders, mine was the Lambo, my brother's was the Celica.

The Hunters.... these were CHEAP BITD, I remember them being $44.95 with COD. Mine = yellow, my brothers = blue.

NOTE: the red and blue one, seems I had MRLEXAN in my blood since 8th grade. I made that body in Shop class, we had a vacuum former project and I had to do an RC body. It worked, but not has I really wanted. Came out wavy and was very fragile.

Finally, the 55 Chevy body inspired by a SCORE racer from back then.

What my Brat morphed into

That Brat looks bad ass in that Bud body! That Miller Chevy is awesome too.

I dont believe I have this anymore (this is me kicking myself in the arse). A 1/12 Parma Capri body painted after the Roush Racing Mustang GTO of Bruce Jenner, my fav a the time and prob still today IMSA GTO car. I had Bruce and Scott Pruett sign it in the mid 1980s at the West Palm Beach Grand Prix (pic is from that exact race too).

Dug out the one I kept, 1/12 Parma Probe GTP. Painted this in the 1980s, though I can't remember the exact year. Not to bad for a youngster and a couple of raddle cans. Autographs are geninue too, Pete Halsmer and Lyn St James.
