RC Heroes
Do you remember that feeling you got when you got to your first 'big' meeting and saw the famous names you'd read about in the magazines? Guys that were simply EPIC on track?
Does that feeling still exist now? Do you go to your mates/WAGs and say ''Corr, look, its him....its HIM!!! Wow!''? Who were your RC heroes?

I was lucky in that Rory Cull lived just up the road from me as did Nick Marson so I got to meet lots of drivers 'back in the day'.
I think the one that stuck in my mind the most though was watching Jamie Booth running his Manta Ray at one of the Malvern Indoor meetings Worcester Buggy Club used to put on ... that was an awesome display of skill and he was comfortably fastest all day. Jamie turned out to be one of the nicest most friendly blokes ever too which was great!

Sometimes its better not to meet your 'heroes' I find.
In the mags they all look great, but in real life it isnt always like that. Saying that though, Craig Drescher is one of the nicest blokes ive ever met and a true gent. Approachable, nice to talk to, helpful and friendly.

Anyway, there's a chap that's just come back to racing at EPR after a near 20 year break was my hero when I was a youngster (he knows who he is!). Bit embarassing now telling him that... My first ever big race meeting was a BRCA 2wd national at my local track in 1989. I bought an RC10 in a shoe box for £20 so I could race. Was in the bottom final and popped a steering ball joint - Jamie Booth fixed it and I even won the final  Still have the trophy somewhere...Don't think I spoke to him on the day, wish I had but I make up for it with the grief I give him now - top bloke.

That must be Andy Langdon then, if its the same one I remember. I remember watching him with his Yok Dogfighter at Medway...super accurate. I must have been about 11...so it was a long time ago. Always did wonder why he ran it with ride height = zero though. Wonder if he still does that haha! Am I right?
