I was hoping for first place and had held it through most of the series, but third was excellent and I was really pleased to finish so well against such strong competition.
I used to race slot cars a few years back, when I painted the bodies for our 24 hour races one year, I did 3 Mazda 787 bodies in 1/24th scale, made my own decals scaled down from the 1/10 scale Tamiya R/C kit, and had working headlights for night racing.

Looks like you have a good looking setup, many happy times ahead.

A very addictive hobby.
