Re: Classic division 1 cars this time around...... (16 replies, posted in Cars)
There is one thing I have learned very well in my short time racing slot cars, on wood tracks I am not a Urethane fan...
I have many sets that i tried and immediately took back off. Even the brm and slot.it tires did better for me.
Plastic track they seem to be the bees knees unless you are doing silly tires.

Well guys, after last night I have ordered up a load of brass. I'm gonna attempt to put a chassis under my MRRC Ferrari before we run this class again. Wish me luck.

Just a bit of clarification here. Race supplements say slot.it 21.5k. My modern LMP Lola comes with a flat 6 20.5k. Is this legal or are we going for the orange/brown 130 cans only?
Thanks,

Topic: Just a thank you! (3 replies, posted in NASTE)
Hey guys, Just wanted to give a formal thank you in here for the hospitality you have shown me as I have entered the club. It has been a great experience and everyone has been most welcoming.
Dan, you immediately jumped in to help me with poor handling cars, and let me borrow tires you needed for another car. I appreciate it fully and your tires are en route.
Couba, my first night you let me run some very fast cars and got me hooked. Thanks for the BRM as well!
Bill, you graciously answered my questions, invited me out, and sold me a great car (i owe you 15 bucks btw)!
Mitch, your knowledge of car layouts and classification has helped me choose more than one car for a class, thanks for saving my money.
Al, you have allowed me to stay late on more than one occasion and shared setup info, track build advice, and I have just had a blast running cars with you after racing. Class act!
Jeff, thanks for loaning me your pinion press to get my car going last week. Saved my bacon!
Anywho, I have been a part of many clubs and hobbies but this is by far the most support and best group of guys I have got to hang in a basement with!

As you guys know I am trying to build up my fleet so I can consistently race without have to be a mouch, leaving cars available for other newbies.
What do you race in Classic 1, why, and is it available?
Sidebar, if you have a classic 1 legal car you can live without lmk!
You guys are very helpful, thanks for all the insight!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,147 replies, posted in NASTE)
I really don't think the F1 GTR and the Ford are proper GT3 cars, I know proxies dictate their own rules but there was debate about this on next years gt3 proxy. They decided to exclude all GTE/GT2 etc vehicles on the same ground as I am proposing here. They just don't fit well with the other cars. The Mclaren is about as exotic as it should get IMO. I already have more scalextric GT3 cars than I want.....
Quick search the F1 was listed as GT1, the 650s and the 720s being the only mclarens listed as GT3. So far as I can tell anyway, but I just punched it in Wiki!

I got cars that will fit into a couple of these. Except for the 81-93. I am assuming Group C cars will be the go-to for that class. I know Al already has a smoking fast one.

Topic: Something I saw....seems neat. (4 replies, posted in Track)
I saw this thing be used for prepping the track surface for a proxy race. Looks like a great way to get some rubber down on the track in a short manner, without wearing your cars out.
They use a really similar thing at the drag strip to lay rubber.....
Pretty inventive! They call it the "Tire Draggin"

Was a very fun night of racing, although I have to say Al and I had even more fun after everyone decided to go home! We were playing with REAL GT cars and we got his GT40 dialed for next week! Easily keeping pace with my car with some tweaks....
I have to say I agree with Bill, Scalextric GT3 is by far my least favorite class and car to run,but its the same for everyone!

Topic: Classic sports car 2..... (23 replies, posted in Cars)
Hey guys, I am currently shopping for a Classic 2 car. Since we have not ran the class since I have been attending I am curious what everyone is running?
GT40 seems like a good choice (as usual), I was also looking at an SRC 914-6.
The rules seem pretty generic other than the spec motor, but I am assuming this is not supposed to be "race" cars and more street going cars that were raced.
I am considering just putting the spec motor in my trans am for a while, anyone see any issue here except probably lack of competitiveness?
Thanks for all the help!

Re: The time has come, please teach me. (19 replies, posted in Track)
Thanks guys!
Regarding the visibility. My vision is that the drivers station would be on the outside of the short "L" leg, have the view down the long portion of the track. I feel like as long as the track isn't too high, you should be able to see the full distance just fine, especially if I don't have a lot of obstructions from elevations and overpasses.
I appreciate all the input. I am getting motivated to make this happen. I realized I could probably get the thing going really easily on my RC Battery Power supplies, and one of my chargers will even work as a voltage and amperage regulator. So that is one expensive item to tick off the list to get going!
