And the final positions (best 3 rounds from 5) were:
1 - Pete Belsten - 290 points - Kyosho Optima Mid SWB
2 - Mike Baldwin - 280 points - Associated RC10 & Kyosho Lazer
3 - Matt Lovett - 210 points - Traxxas TRX1, Kyosho Lazer, Tamiya Top Force
4 - Dave Belsten - 200 points - Kyosho Optima Mid LWB
5 - Andy Nancollis - 130 points - Tamiya Thundershot
6 - James Instone - 90 points - Kyosho Lazer
=7 - Craig Harris - 70 points - Traxxas TRX1
=7 - Lee Panchy - 70 points - Schumacher Cougar 2
8 - James Maggs - 60 points - Losi Jrx Pro SE
Well done Pete in winning it. Great fun. Im going to try and persuade my wife to let me do the series next year.

Didnt realise Craig had a Lazer.

Lol yeah it was fun, once i got the motor/pinion issues sorted and worked out how to drive around the distinct lack of turn-in, and of course after i .... ahem... found my front wheel after it flew off, the old Top Force was running very well

If only there were more nutters to actually drive their old Vintage buggies instead of gathering dust on a shelf ... it really is good fun

Congrats on the series win Pete, and maybe lets see if we can do another vintage series next year sometime ?

Welshy - Craig doesn't, he borrowed Balders Trx1! I've corrected the list now
Dyna - Definitely, the more nutters the better! We'll give the old cars a break for now but if we can get enough interest then I'd be up for another series next year.
