That pic brings back a lot of memories. I had a gold pan with foams that I raced in the late 80's/early 90's at a skating rink in Mankato, MN. We had ozite carpet that we rolled out on Thursdays and set up road courses. It is funny looking back at those days, almost everyone raced converted off roaders. I guess it is just what we had for bashing so we just converted them over. I will have to post some race pics if I can find them.

During the winter we all converted our off-road buggies to be used on the roller skating rinks. I just found my oval chassis in one of my parts boxes. I will try and post a picture of the chassis and body, which has a HUGE wing!.

A wing like this? :wink:

We used to run on the green outdoor carpeting at the local flea market as well as the roller skating rinks. The winter ovals were always fun to try and stretch your 1200mah pack to 4 minutes. :lol:

those are cool we use to race in a high school gym. we used RTV on the tires to grip the floor they were fast and good grip but they said we polished the floor to much and made it slick, so they hicked us out. I wish I had some pics of my Jrx pro I raced but I rebuilt it yeas ago to race dirt.
LOSI RULES!!
