Anyone remember AYK Por Radiant or Boost?

[BORMAC]

I have been looking at building up an AYK Pro Radiant or Boost. Does anybody remember these cars? Im also looking for some spares if you have any hanging around.

Yes i do remember the Radiant model and raced with it in the stock class here in sweden hundred years ago :D It's a good looking car but a poor performer on track. I am glad that we share the same interest in vintage cars/ racing so keep myself posted with your works. If i do find parts in my gigantic "might be good to have" box or on my scavenger hunts on ebay i'll let you know. Good luck and keep up the good work!:thumbsup:

I do too!!

Dont worry Jason mate - we will be the "Boost Brothers".

What's up Jason, had enough of the Schumachers then?:lol: I don't think I have any spares left over, but I'll let you know if I find some.

Always considered trying to convert my spare Radiant to a Pro, but I've never found the parts.:thumbdown:

And what are you doing over here Darryn:eh?::D

Thankyou TWISTER and TERRY. I have a road ahead of me haven't I. I really am happy with anything that may turn up. The car doesnt need to be entirely original unit as I may well end up modding it a bit to cope with the modified motor I plan to run in it. Ive been chating with Darryn on this project for some time and when it finaly happens I'll be taking video of the car in full flight at the track. I'll try to get it up onto TC for you guys to enjoy.

Dang! I would pay good money to see a radiant i the dirt again.:drool:

Ooh the Boost. Nice chain drive with the bright orange arms.
I remember it was raced by Mike Dunn from the Race Prep team in the USA. Never had the good fortune to try or own one though.

I was fortunate enough to have one NIB - then stupid enough to sell it a year or so later.....

I still have a new built and almost enough to make another new built (in truth - I will probably make that one into a pro radiant - as they are almost the same!).

I am currently restoring / modifying a very abused boost at the moment- and trying to help Jason piece one together so that we can form "Boost Racing Team".....lol - they were a pretty good car in the day - however poorly supported.......I aim to make a stonking runner out of mine - and we will make Jasons go just as hard.

Dave Vine at T.O.P. models in the UK has loads of these old spares.. his number is in the Hybrid Thread in this forum :)

I had one. It looked good in the Florida Winter Nats pictures from the early 90s.

I sold mine to a New Yorker last year.

It's a shame I couldn't do more with it.
