These Corvettes dominated the Classic class when they were new. Looks like this one will put them back on top! Nice car, Zack!

Okay, I tend to get in trouble for my remarks here but I only respond to other's posts about rules and what's legal or fair. My two cents is that in every other class at Howie's the cars actually look like a scale size driver could climb in and out and actually fit in the car to drive it. I saw very few cars at the Can-Am race that a driver could fit into. Same goes for tire size. Until the Porsches came along, Can-Am cars ran the biggest tires out there to handle the huge power. The little tires on the front of some of the cars looked weird to me. Even the .9 inch tires for the rear only equate to a real tire less than 22 inches tall. That's a little tire for the rear of a race car from the era. No matter what the outcome on rules, I will do my best to stay out of the way of the fast cars.

I agree. A big thanks to all who donated parts and time.

Big thanks to Zack for all the work he did on my car today. Thanks to Howie and Bill for supplying parts and shop time. I look forward to testing it out soon.

Zack, I have a couple you can check out. One is a difalco kit that was never finished. Both came from Craig Pryor's estate. He was one of the best racers and car builders around. I will send you a note on FB.

We had fun. Good turnout for a hot summer night. Thanks to out hosts!

No penguins were harmed.

Love this track, love these cars. I actually made it through a heat without crashing! Thanks to everybody, especially Howie, for a fun night.

Jimmy was always fun to talk with, and he was usually funny.

If the image didn't come through, sorry. New to putting pictures on posts here. It is a large box. I can bring it to Al's next race.

Monte, if you are going to quote me, let's look at yours as well.

"Ya know, my initial opinion was to not count the race since tire traction changed drastically."

You had already thrown out the one lane on your own decision and obviously thought about tossing the second race entirely. Instead you tossed the whole night out taking away Tracy's win in the first race. You're in charge of this series. You make the decisions. Don't blame me.

Bill, I don't know about mixed messages. Like most people at the races, I try to do my best, but it does not bother me to lose, especially with groups like OSCAR and Howie's as they build their cars to win races. At the Thursday races, the best car is usually the winner. At the last race on your track Doc loaned me his Camaro. I set it on the track with no practice and won the race. It was not because I was the best driver, I just had the best car. I only comment here when people complain about fairness and trying to make the cars equal because the only fair race is the IROC series where everyone drives the same cars.

"You race and play with slot cars however you want but you should let other racers do the same."

That comment is off base as I do what I want to and let others do the same. Everyone has their choice to do what they want to in this life. I aim for having fun.
