I'm planning to start racing again. I found my controller (well one of them anyway) yesterday. It was in a box with my BRM cars. Now if I can just find cars for the classes being raced I'll be in good shape.

After just a few laps Howie's car laid down a very impressive smoke screen. The motor totally fried and Howie had to switch to a back up car. Hence the disqualification.
