Those are some GREAT cars! How can we find open wheelers like that? You must have a blast racing them. If you find yourself in the sands of Phoenix you are welcome to race I have loners and extra controlers!

Brian. The Red March is a Penelope Pitlane kit with PP Chassis, The Blue and Yellow Brabham is a Protoslot kit on a Fly March Chassis, the Yardley McLaren is a chopped and Modified Scaley McLaren, Blue Surtees is an old 1/32 AMT kit on a Modified Scaley McLaren Chassis and the rest are Chopped and modified 70's Scaley cars also on McLaren Chassis.

I was pretty lucky in that I managed to pick up a heap of M23 Mclarens that required repairing and used them as a base for a lot of the cars.
So most of them run pretty much on Equal terms with the RTR classic F1 cars.

I also have a fair few Fly March, Lotus and Williams cars as well as the Scaley Mclarens and Ferraris, and the Lotus 49 and Eagle cars. I love My 60's and 70's F1s and am really chomping at the bit for Ron Howards new movie.
It would be pretty cool to come and have a race but I don't think that they run a bus service from West Australia to Phoenix anymore :D.
