Late 80's Racers - Your Thoughts

[Spanky855]

Good Morning All

My last race was 1989, I caused carnage in one of my hear race when the mechanical speed controller on my Optima Mid jammed on full throttle at the White Hart pub meet Calow, Chesterfield

On a recent trip to Lincoln I listed a model shop and saw some of my childhood cars for sale, Tamiya Frogs and Boomerangs and it brought back some great memories. 3 Days later after an evening of way too many Gin & Tonics and a session on ebay a the postman way trying to push a Schumacher K2 Roller through my letter box

Love to hear from any late 80's racers about you experiences , thoughts about racing and any pitfalls to avoid.
