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.

Topic: New Life for an old beater. (1 replies, posted in Cars)
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.

Mine runs very well with the Revoslot 21K FK style motor. Though it is rated at only 21K it has lots of torque making it quick comimg out of the corners.

Topic: Here's a thought... (2 replies, posted in Cars)
Since the Ferrari F40 is now 30+ years old making it a classic in the real world perhaps we should include it into our classic Slot It/ Policar class.
This may help it from becoming yet another GT40 class.

I may have missed something but in the schedule I see several Even Thursday events that do not say what we are racing.
Some of us slower builders need a bit of notice to get something together, or to have our "Crew Chief" build something suitable.

Topic: Changes to Odd Thursday Racing (2 replies, posted in Events)
Today is another Odd Thursday
Tonight is the last race using the old classes that we have run and added to, changed, tweaked for the last 10 years
Tonight's classes are GFX, basically, but not limited to Slot It Class C cars, and LeMans, Stock Fly, Scalextric, Ninco cars running the Black Stripe Scaley/Fly motors.
Starting with the next Odd Thursday we will race our new classes. The changes made are more Brand Centric in an attempt to be less complicated. Several center on Slot It/Policar cars, as these are simple smooth and fast. They can be made to run very well with just minor tuning. They also perform very well out of the box. As an example my new 512 runs about as well as many I've fussed with, all I have done is loosen the pod screws a quarter turn. I haven't even changed the tires or removed the body, and you can't beat the price. Most comparable cars are twice the price.
Our horribly complex and confusing F1 class is now limited to the Policar F1 cars simplifying that a lot.
We are also running Revoslot GT2 cars together as their own class. These will be raced stock making for some close competitive racing.
Another "as they come" class" will be the Slot It DTM class.
Classes like these were made to allow new racers to be competitive right from the get go. And new racers still get to use magnets until they win, then they get to learn basic tuning skills.
See some of you tonight, enjoy.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,043 replies, posted in NASTE)
We tried running the Revoslot GT2/GT1 cars in the regular GT series wherever they fit. Though they only have a 21K motor they had enough torque to be quick enough on Al's track. It was the lack of traction that held them back so when we were discussing new classes it was decided to run them in their own class. It appears that many other clubs and proxies have made the same decision. The loss of traction appears to be related to the slight texture of the Magnetic primer. On my track for out at Bill's track the Revoslot tires seem to like the smooth surface allowing these cars to hang with the Slot Its and NSRs.
When I hosted the Revoslot proxy the cars qualified close enough that it was literally anybody's race to win.
As for the smaller cars I have the Alfa and BMW. the first thing I did was replace the 21K motor with an H&R 18K making them legal for classics ll. However I never intended to race them, they are just perfect for my track this way. As for Trans Am racing they would probably also need their own U2 Revoslot class. You also wouldn't be able to fit the spec Black Stripe "trans am" motor as they are all bell driven and the Revo chassis are all can driven.

Topic: This odd Thursday (0 replies, posted in Events)
I went by Al's today after he got home and visited for a bit. At this point he's feeling pretty good.
Unless there is a sudden turn around he plans to have the track open this Thursday.
If we don't have enough racers for an actual race it might be a good time to test some new cars that are part of the new classes, so bring your Revoslot and Slot It DTM cars if you have them. I'll bring extras for those who don't have them so guys can get a feel for them.
Bill has posted the new classes and rule changes to the website, most changes just simplify some of the classes by having us tune the stock parts rather than heavily modifying the cars.
