I know that Slot It is working on a proper 510,  but I couldn't wait.

Brought mine last night and ran a few laps but when it came to racing our third racer needed to head for home.

For those interested in racing 1/32 I've attatched the schedule below.
Also of note we've combined the right cables,  software,  and hardware to provide glitch free racing. At least last night ran seamlessly.
  If something appears on the schedule that you don't have don't worry about it,  we always have a few spares sitting around.

What cars are included,  and where are we racing these?

Well if that's the case Bob I'm glad I made it out one last time and was able to stay to help put it to bed.
 
I always liked the track, and the venue. Thanks for hosting.

And just where would these rules be posted?
This site has always been difficult to find anything.

After a bit of a pause we are scheduled to race tonight..... I hope I remember how.

Do you still have enough "leftover" track to create a 4 lane at some point?

I have three BRM classics with 21K Revoslot motors if they fit in.

Okay we've gone thru a couple of computers. We can run a race thru Trackmate,  not Al's favorite. But it counts laps and there is no dreaded blue screen of death.
I've installed Race Coordinator but it needs .NET Framework v4.0 to make it run.  We can't make the WiFi work. I went upstairs and tried to put it on a stick but was unsuccessful,  it needs to he loaded directly to the C drive.
If any of you computer gurus know what to do call Al and help him out. This PC Neanderthal is out of ideas.
Meanwhile Trackmate is ready to go. It doesn't count 10ths,  it breaks ties by the fastest average lap. So we can race and the PC will decide the winner. Not usually a concern of mine.

That smell didn't come from the "crack of doom" did it?

Great pick Bill, Finds like these are really cool, the fact that much of it is local only adds to the coolness. Also thanks to John for reaching out and making the call. These could have just as easily made it into the weekly trash.

I plan on being there.

This came home from last years proxy with a dying motor.
It started out with a podium finish them got slower with each race. By the end of the proxy it was finishing last.
When it got home I tossed it into a drawer where bi found it recently.
I gave it an H&R 18K motor,  changed out the PG urethanes for Thunderslots,  widened the track just a bit past proxy spec.
It now runs easily in the mid 6s as quick,  smooth and quiet as a new Slot It.

Rico,
Mine was doing the same a couple of weeks ago,  I lubed it and backed off the trigger screw a bit. Problem seems to be solved.
