Stopped for a few years then went onto carpet. At least everything was clean at the end of the night. Started off with the Legends class then to pan cars. Those were a hoot, we started a nostalgic nascar body class with stock motors. Then to keep it equal, everyone had to turn their motors in at the end of the night.
Following week you drew numbers to get the corresponding numbered motor. Kept it a "cheap" fun class. One season we had twenty some participants in our class. We were known as the Old Farts class
We had this special bottle we called Monkey Cum we would put a drop on the commentator and that sucker would fly, (nothing in the rules said it couldn't be used) I won the championship two years in a row. I'll find some pictures, cause I know, no pictures, never happened.
Only thing left is a couple Tamiya 4x4 trucks for playing, but haven't touched them in years.... Thanks for the stroll down memory lane
good story, i always tried to get a stock motor class going at the track but no luck. the best time at the track was a 2yr period where there were 8 of use that ran real fast and clean, often times the winner was decided at the finish line and it was awesome. tight fast racing will get your blood pumping, having 3 or 4 lap blowouts just isnt fun as id rather have someone on my bumper pushing me to go faster.
