Just stumbled across this site and checked out the action photos and was amazed to see most of the same people still racing at the Bury regional. Specifically this photo http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/bury140506/imagepages/bury15.html
It was like looking at a picture from years ago, but with everyone aged :D

I used to race about 6 years ago and loved the bury track.

Anyway, all these memories are making me want to race again :smile:

EDIT: By the way, very nice site

hehe, yeah, they are good cars! Damian whittle ran one a few times this year, I think he ran it at the southport national. I think there are a few more about too.

Someone came into work with a really nice condition mardave apache today for me to fix for them.. trying to find a car in mi collection to swap for it at the moment, cant allow this lovely apache to be ragged into the ground.

Team17 the software games company? Im guessing this is your website and that's why all the graphics look cool :thumrigh: Nice work
