In Memory of RC Hall Of Fame Member Gene Husting of Team Associated who has passed away (1927-2014). I think Gene and I are the only two in the history or RC To love it enough to document what was going on when others weren't! Here's to you Gene!

****************************************************************
I was sponsored by Team Associated/Reedy Modifieds from DEC 1995-DEC 1996 and helped win a Truck World Championship in 1996 and personally TQ and Won the 2wd Expert Modified NORRCA Nationals for Team Associated/Reedy Modifieds. I finished 7th in 2wd that year at the ROAR MODIFIED NATIONALS and qualified for the 1997 IFMAR WORLDS.
I mention Mike Reedy because he convinced Gene to put me on the team, and later I became good friends with Gene as we both were RC History buffs, loved to shoot movies and photos, and race Sega VR at SoCal! Gene had a SEGA VR at his house, so he was pretty good!
Gene emailed and called me in 2006 about his videos and I bought volumes #24, #25, #26 #27* and #28, the years I was in his videos. In went into the service in DEC 2006 after 20 years in the Sport of RC Racing.
I've decided to upload these here because I know folks love these videos and it seems that since he stopped selling them there is still some demand. I would have up-loaded this on Gene's birthday but due to computer issues it's coming out now!
********************************************************************
A few Q&A really quick to settle some issues up front.
Question: Can you make me a copy and send it to me? I'll pay you for it!
Answer: No I can not. I don't own the copyright for this video. I really miss Gene Husting and Mike Reedy so really I'm putting this up there in their honor! Just watch it on RU-vid and enjoy, OK?
Question: Why is the video quality so low? I want 1080p HD!
Answer: These were originally VHS Tapes that were converted to DvD's so the quality wasn't all that good. I put them up in .m4v format and RU-vid converted that to it's format and some quality is lost. Just enjoy what we have and be thankful for that!
Question: Can you put up the other videos?
Answer: Time permitting I will upload 24, 25, 28 and this is #26. The #27 I have is on VHS and I don't have capability to convert from VHS to DVD or .m4v at this time. Subscribe to the channel and when the new videos come out you'll get an email alerting you! It takes nearly 6 hours just to upload the entire video and then a few more for RU-vid to compress the video. Be patient!
Question: Are you in the videos?
Answer: Yes, I am in each video. I was 16 in 1994 and 19 in 1997 (the last video I have). Some of them I'm in the racing action, and some of them I'm in the background watching the race or turn marshaling. It is an honor to be in the #26 & #27 video for several of the races and have my name put on one of Gene's videos!
That's it folks. Enjoy the video's and share these with any of your racing buddies who love vintage RC!
