Hi Wild Bill: Thank you for the great evening of fun racing and snacks, and a great group of racers to be with, you are a great host also. I looked at the updated t/a rules and i do not have any further discussions to offer (time to shut up), it looks like Naste has a good set of rules to work with. Looking forward to competing with you guys.

Rico: Are you running the stock (loose to axle) rear axle assemblies in both of the cars? Since you are not using the magnets i was just wondering if you had rear end hop. Last race with my 69 camaro with stock rear axle and with PG tires my car had a fair amount of hop on wood. Did you do the super glue trick on bearings/axle?
Rico: I just checked the Cadillac and found that it has the grille and both lens missing also. Bummer!
Reek455: I found that spare scaly Cadillac lmp i told you i have, it does not have a rear wing, sorry. It was apart of e-bay group buy i made, i kept it for the chassis, so the body is available if you need it.

John: Thank you for the note on helping you with car (chassis) suggestions. Please note that as you noted my "wealth of knowledge" came from the other club members helping me with my cars to able me to be somewhat competitive with them, and they are the one's that deserve the thanks you kindly directed to me. I am happy to equally share what they have shared with me.

Bill: Sorry i am just now getting back to you, had to fill in for missing guy at the shop today. Per you're above question to me about having two divisions of t/a cars; at this point we need to really determine how well the out of box w/magnet car will really do against the non mag car. I would prefer all the cars would eventually be non mag w/spec parts upgrades of their choice. I was planing on running my mustang "out of box car, w/mag" that john ran last night at the next race to see how the laps compared to my last night race with my non magnet car with pg tires to try and help determine any difference's. I would also ask you if you think we should do as in our other class's where we allow new racers to run with magnet until they win a race and then ask them to remove magnet and allow them to update car with weight and tires of there choice. Please accept this as just a suggestion to keep cars as close to the same as possible.

Bill: My t/a car i ran w/o magnet, w/weight added, change to rear tires was a hand full of bouncing because of i think of the slop between the axle and axle bearing (my paul gage tires were sticky also). I now feel that upgrade to 3/32 axle, bearings, set screw (spec rules) wheels with the same dimensions to match stock scaley wheels to be able to use paul gage tires made for t/a cars, but maybe with a spec tire rule of urethanes and one (to be determined) specific rubber compound rear tires to help smooth out the car. I think the stock scaly motors 18k are the way to go to keep costs down and equal. I would also like to see the pioneer cars run the scaly motor (should fit?) also. As you stated above about the scx motor 42b rated at 18k then it should be ok as is. And the use of added weight should be allowed. Just my 2 penny's worth. I think this could be a close group of fun cars to compete with,

Bill: Thank you for another great night of racing on you're track. Also note that my scalextric car has paul gage tires on it, just to help you keep track of car combo's being used.

wbos: I like you're approach to the T/A rules. And keeping the F-1 with monte's rules is a good common sense way to run these cars. Should be a lot of fun running these cars we have sitting around.
