Hi folks,I'm an old c/l racing and combat pilot.I used to live in Indianapolis in the late 70's and happened to hear the guys running boats over by speedway, coming back from a combat match.Spun the car around,watched them run and was hooked.It took many years to actually take the plunge,but in the 80's I bought an aeromarine challenger with ops .67 and futzed around awhile but no clubs in my area(moved back to michigan) so kinda shelved it.Found a club,bought a mongoose sold the challenger and the club disbanded before I got it built!I recently met Walt Radzinski and Keven Sheren and decided it was time to give this thing a go again.I'm buying an older hawk 3.5 from Kevin.Not a bad place to start I think.I went to Hobart(fantastic race,great town)and yesterday went to the Flint record trials and met more great folks!Sooooooooo.....here we go,1 2 3...spend money!!!
