Just curious to see if anyone in here messes with r/c cars or i should say is into racing. I know there was one guy on here that was into it that i sold some stuff to awhile back. Pics of my fleet. :naughty: ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/shhiknow/64838b5b.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/shhiknow/64838b5b.jpg) ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/shhiknow/d4f0164c.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/shhiknow/d4f0164c.jpg) ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/shhiknow/mcc.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/shhiknow/mcc.jpg) ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/shhiknow/5caa5710.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/shhiknow/5caa5710.jpg) ---

wow east street. Yea that place closed right before i just started racing. I remember i used to go down there and practice alot and then when i got ready to race they closed. Wagonhill was cool also. xx and xxt turned the sport into a whole diffrent level when they came out. Do you mean adam and eve’s in latrobe?? ---

gus and matt dobsnak or something like that.lol. yea they actually got back into it last year for awhile.i’ve not seen them since. What about Shawn rosenau or rickey wright?? I know they were pretty good back then and they’re still into it. Maybe ed godula? or the chronister brothers. Yea east st was a def a cool place. Just sucks when something like that comes to an end cause of all of the money you’ve invested into it then theres no where to race. ---

I was into it pretty big. I was a member of the the NR/CTPA (national radio controlled truck pulling association) I still have a Clodbuster, two super blackfoots and two on-road tamiya VW bugs ( i forget the chassis name) steelcity hobby is supposed to have a track at their store. ---

Yea steelcity does have a track. Is a roadcourse but its really nice. Thats cool. I always wanted to build something that could compete in nr/ctpa but could never fork out the extra cash for something like that. ahh haaa the blackfoot. I think anyone who has even been into rc has ran into a blackfoot. That was one of my 1st rc cars. ---
