My pleasure, great to have you there. Yeah was trying to get some of you running, but people allways end up wanting to talk 😂

[@AddamsPlayground]

Lots of wonderful looking cars and trucks out there and it looked like loads of fun! Well, minus the rain and muddy cars that will all need a good cleaning! I saw lots and lots of smiles so seemed like a good weekend!

[@lo2713]

Yeah, rain or shine these big vintage meets are just so much fun. And the fact that these events draw in over a 100 racers. Just proves vintage is growing

[@Ianlfcm3]

Hell of a turn out , great to see rc in kendal thriving 👏

[@lo2713]

Superb video showing absolute classic RC cars. I've just purchased a very sorry looking believe it or not vintage Meccano showman traction engine which has had Futaba RC system to it. No transmitter to test it. I live in Birmingham. Any ideas where i could get it serviced and checked? Keep them fantastic videos a coming.

[@lo2713]

Not to sure where to send you, might be worth a shout on iconic rc facebook page 👍

Superb video my Buddy, thank you for making the time to shoot so much footage, I hardly found time to do anything other than Tea breaks on my last outing to a track, Great effort on the painting by everyone, something special about the shape of the shells back then, especially love the Bigwig painted AYK @ 25 secs in, nice to see people running 870/YZ10's also, looked like an amazing event, awesome stuff, as always cheers and best wishes. AB.

[@lo2713]

Yeah, lots of awsome cars out and getting dirty in the mud 😎 cant beat a good old fassioned grass track. Revival at the end of the month, so need to get the 2 cars im running ready 👍

@@lo2713 shame you sold me all those yoko rims! 😬 my team car was awesome so great idea.

[@lo2713]

@@Chriswizzv12 😂 yeah but i do love new tyres 😁

[@Synic08]

Not that newer ones dont look cool… but they do all look the same…. I wish i was racing during the times when these manufacturers were vastly different from eachother and trying new stuff…

[@lo2713]

Yeah, every car was different back then. You can line all the modern cars up and not see whats what. And the cab forward bodies 🤮

[@BasedF-15Pilot]

All those cars look really cool. I believe the stupid way modern club racer cars is is a disservice to the hobby and an actual barrier to entry, as they're all just so ugly.

[@lo2713]

Yeah, modern cars are very much the same, butt ugly. I love the vintage scene. Its about having fun, modern racing seems to be about winning at all costs, like new tyres every race 😮 ive got tyres that are 3-4 years old 😂
