Raced my Goldie for the first time in about 20 yrs tonight

[farmer]

Well I got my ok 6gear out and put her on the track tonight. Out of 9 buggys qualified 3 .. In the main I snuck the inside on the first turn got ahead on 1st an 2nd then got plowed in the rear by 4th who following me than got screwed by the absenty front straight turn marshal . By the time a turn marshal got to me the field was 3/4 lap gone . The race director offered a restart but first place with a very prominent NO! Settled that I got screwd oh well that's racing . I fought back and pulled a third not bad for a 20 something year old car still running a brushed motor and Nimh batts . i tried to add some pics but its saying there to bi,but im pulling them from the same folder i pull all my pics from ohh well maybe later

It's not about having the latest car and gear. Sure, you can have it. But will it make you a better driver?
Just goes to show that if you have skill. You'll go far.

What shocks are those? Are they stripped or something? They look good, just curious. They're clearly Associated, but seem to have the color of Kyosho Platinums.
