That's when those two pictures were taken, I got'em straight off of Mike Boylans website and he was bigtime into dirt oval back then. Back in those days, If you raced oval at all, Dirt was a major player since captire concrete oval was just then getting huge.

That is so funny I was just looking at an old RC Car Action from Sept of 89. It had a great write up by Wally David about the 89 nats.
I was working at BoLink and went up with a new Do body we had done to give a few away. Got hooked into doing a lot of Trching that weekend with Tom Crowe.
I think that was the first experience the East Coast boys had with the Advanced Gran Prix tires. They were 1/8th scale fronts and the California boys used them on RC-10 wheels. In 2wd you had them or got outrun by them. Man was that track hard. Article said over 350 entries. That was a heck of a race. It was the year before the Landgraffs built the 2WD Intimadator. Dave Guerin was a piece of work. Great track to race on. There were 95 in 2WD Stock, 49 in 4WD Stock. 4WD Stock A-Main was all CW cars in th Mod 4WD A-Main Martin Buchannan from the famous Racers Haven track in Bakersfield,CA driving for Neal McCurdy was the only Ron Young Superior SRP-1 car. He finished 5th.Cliff Lett won the 2WD Mod using the soon to be released Stealth Tranny.
Lots of great memories from that one.
