    Cool video guys. That track is awesome!!
    My mates and I used to race 1/10 scale but we all kind of burned out with all the seriousness of it all so we started vintage racing and found it draws a whole different kind of racer. None of us take it too seriously. We all talk a load of crap at each and have lots of laughs and afterwards have a BBQ with a few drinks. Everyone has a great time.
    Keep up the great content..

      Totally agree the seriousness is the worst thing. I have a Top-Force Evo I just want to race and have a laugh with.

    I'm finding it hard to swallow that the 'vintage' racing class includes cars that came along well after I _stopped_ racing. 😬😅😅👴

    i watched quite a few of the races over the three days, but one of the most exciting ones was defo the 3rd Vintage final. Super close racing, the top two or three had some great battles at the end of the race. To top it off two cars crossed the line with the exact same time, couldn't believe it! Super exciting to watch

    You guys are doing a great job for the scene over there, I keep saying it, but it's good to see. I'm not completely surprised that the Vintage classes are taking off. I think the reason many stopped racing older buggies at club level at least, was spares availability and affordability.

      No vintage Tamiyas as this event as there were a limited number of places and they were only 2wd. Jamie Booth and Craig Drescher are very successful vintagecracing with their Top Forces and Jamie races an Astute. The Top Force is a popular choice of vintage racing and Hotshots and Terra Scorchers can be competitive in their respective classes.

    Love the Vintage RC Cars. Should they be allowed to do so many modifications with 3D printed parts and 2024 upgrades? Kind of makes them not so Vintage.
