Unearthing the NAMBA D19 25 Yr. Old RC Time Capsule

[properchopper]

In 1989 NAMBA D19 folks were finishing off the original driver's stand re-build. They sealed a time capsule inside with stuff from 1989 ; some semi-valuables and rc boat items. Today, with a nice party atmosphere and local press coverage it was dug out, 25 years later. It will be opened at the D19 annual meeting and Banquet at the Aquarius Casino Resort in Laughlin NV next weekend. Will report contents.

First the concrete was cut :

That should be fun. I started going to leg lake in 1992 or 93.
