I concur with Mr Serious about RJ's performance. I was watching the finals on livestream. Very impressive considering the truck was finished not long before the event.
Very well driven.

Was great to finally meet the guy, after we've given each other so much carp over the years on here!
Wait! What??? You've been sending each other fish all this time?????

Looks fantastic, took a while staring at the pics to notice the cross outs too funny
I was wondering if someone would notice, that's my subtle protest
Looks like you built the truck right mate. You're going really well at the bash!
Thanks, it has been a great event. What a spectacular turnout of cars, pretty impressive really.
Pictures! And no Facebook links!

I have to say that RJ's truck looked awesome in the flesh at the Bash.... and his performance was a standout for me, from a pretty awesome weekend of racing, chatting, and talking poop.

Such a brilliant weekend.... thanks for making the effort RJ, was very much appreciated!
Just got home from the track, thanks Alex for my matching stubble cooler It was fun catching up with you and Rob and talking crap. Watching Rob with the wing wire was gold and congratulations on your raffle win, have you thought about buying a lotto ticket??

Thanks Chris, despite some pretty average driving at times I still managed 4th in the A main of a pretty stout line up stadium trucks. Looking forward to the next one and/or other vintage events

What a awesome build and thread. Truck looks fantastic and love the cross outs on the body I might have to do something similar on mine.
Good job placing 4th in the event, must have been driving pretty darn well.

I'm really surprised these Polypro pinion gears held up fine in a big stadium truck with no slipper and good traction! The spur gear is thinner as well but the pinions are only 2.5mm thick.
Just to give you an idea they are plastic pinion gears and that black pinion next to it is an RRP Aluminum Pro Pinion

It was awesome meeting you and the wife RJ and talking poop with Alex. I also concur this thing was awesome and his performance making the A final was a stand out.
Cheers
Rob
