Doing some research for a USA 1/4 scale site, regarding the early 1/4 scale cars down here and this came up.....
From my records.....
Quote....
From Keith Noble....
"Geoff Miles purchased the the 1st NAC Racing Research (Nobby and Coop) sprint car into NSW, mid 1988.
"There you have it: an Aussie, home-grown 1/4 scale sprinter, equal to, if not better than, the imported cars from the USA or UK (if you could afford one after the dollar crash, together with duties and taxes). $1,400 might sound like a hefty price, but the engineering and quality are there to back the price".
NAC Racing Research can be contacted at:
4 Hancock Road, Hope Valley, SA 5090
or phone (08) 8265 1479 "
$1400 in 1988......OK.....Geoff and Lena Miles were travelling alright back in the day!!!!!!!!
This car is still around. Some history there!
