Stories from the world of RC car racing

I’ve taken some time out over the last few days to reconsider my involvement in RC following the situation over this year and in particular the last few weeks. Basically I have been heavily involved in admin of the electric side of this hobby in Qld since 1986 and it’s time I took a break and it’s time for new blood, new ideas, new people, to put in and move things forward. I’ve got no doubt my going won’t cause a ripple, some will even be glad to hear it.
The decision has been taken and the result is that I have placed a few life bans on myself.
Banned from any more involvement in Interclub committee – this year and future years.
Banned from any more involvement on ORRCA.
Banned from any other RC hobby wide committees.
Banned from RC Tech Australian threads.
Not banned from racing, and enjoying racing, and in particular from helping where I can at Bayside Onroad and Chargers Offroad meets and working bees etc.
Hope to see some of you at the track, actually I’ll race you there.
cheers, Heavy

    Good to see your going to keep racing David, I hope you havent banned yourself from giving advice on car setup. Sounds like the best thing to do is keep away from all the politics and just enjoy your racing.
    Cheers

    Thanks for the offer – I’ll definitely be there for long enough but not sure I want to put that sort of temptation in my path.
