Really thinking of coming down to this one :-)

are we allowed reverse on our speed controls for this event? years since I raced and reverse wasn't allowed back then...

Got a mate interested as well so as soon as he confirms i'll book us both in for the standard class (should be slow enough for me to get around the track hopefully)

Got a lunchbox which I could bring for a bash in the luchie race as well. is there any restrictions on the lunchbox race as i'd have to change it back to brushed if there is?

Cheers Rich :-)

I'm loving the look you've got there SRB Bloke, not much chance of loosing that in a field of other Holiday Buggies

[JWeston 493]

Admittedly, I'm concerned about my strobe effect roof LEDs but if they come off, they come off

Just hope that those LEDs don't act like a homing beacon for all the other cars during the 'race'

All these flash paint jobs on all the other cars going to make my cars look boring!!
