JD Designs a 3.5 OB Vee

[Jerry Dunlap]

Actually, I did know that. About 10 years ago our group hosted a national event and a couple of racers from "Down Under" attended. They were in absolute disbelief when they heard the guys calling me "Dunny." But, there's plenty of guys in District 8 that will tell you my r/c boat driving belongs in the "Dunny."

Actually Tim I did know that . In 1994 when our District was still APBA we hosted the Nationals at the same pond the "Skunkworks" photo was taken at. After several days I finally asked the Ausies why they were snickering every time someone called Jerry Dunlap "Dunny" we all had a good laugh about it and it still comes up to this day.

I'll bet it was Mr Andrew Young. He reminded me of the story on Sunday :lol:

 

[GTR]

Yeah that would be right as well as

Mr & Mrs Ron Heylan

Mr & Mrs Brian McKellar

Mr Dave Gerrard

Mr Barry Cridland

Mr Adam Fischel, &

Mr Andrew Young as you've already mentioned. Pretty sure they mostly raced riggers (21/45) and Adam a 1/8th scale.

There are no secrets. :lol:

Do you mean Adam "bluey" Filsell?
