I was fun Monte. Just gotta love those Jags.

I'm not concerned about the plethora of GT40s, but a few of them still had orange bell slot it motors and 10mm tires. Lately I'm getting pretty good times out of my old Ninco C1 Corvette with the universal after market chassis. It was a 6th place car in the Pan-Americana proxy this year with the 14k Jack Rabbit motor in it. Now it has the Hawk motor and seems to run about as well as my GT40.
Enjoy the car Monte, a Slot It with an 18K motor is a joy to drive.

Of course Al could always loose a wheel and if you did well with a decent size crowd you could end up back on top.

Al got 2nd Doc with 75 laps, Chris came in 1st with an astounding 77 laps and I got 3rd with a paltry 70 laps. It appears that in the series your safely in second place. I'm in third with no mathematical way to catch you unless I win the next race and we have like 40 racers.

Doc,
Since your over there just hanging around, why don't you just hop over and do something about that volcano for those poor folks on the big island.

Nice job with the 908 Doc, I'm going to have to dig mine out and give it some attention.

And thanks Al and Donna for another evening of fun.

I think yours might be at Al's Bill. I bought one from one of the 3D ( Devis Design) guys who was getting out of the slot car stuff. I haven't used it yet or know how well it works.  You're welcome to give it a try.

The copper tape made a huge difference on my track

Put your motor back into your car Doc, we're racing them tonight.

IMHO that's just part of tuning. It's something that anybody is capable of doing. I've done similar things sometimes successfully sometimes not so much. I've had similar success putting a new car on the track at 5 or 6 volts and letting it run for a couple of hours.

  There are a hundred different things you can do to tune a car and just because there might be one I don't care to do doesn't mean I can say the next guy can't. That would be like me saying I don't want to glue and sand my tires so nobody else gets to. Or me not having a tire razor and saying that nobody gets to use one.

  For me that's the best part of this hobby, the tinkering, experimenting, and fussing about. The rest is just running around in circles.

Good choices Doc, you do well in those classes. However many racers aren't particularly fond of Trams Am and they need a LOT of tuning to run well.

The Cam Am and LeMans are run very stock and need very little fiddling with to run well.

Classics l or ll is a good one.

GT is also one that runs out of the box cars only replacing the magnet with lead.

When I started with NASTE I think we only had GT and Classic Sports car, at least that's all I remember. F1, LeMans, Trans Am, Over 50 and Can Am all came later.

It bugs me that I can't remember, I'm sure we didn't run the same cars every two weeks. I think each week we ran one of the classes then Bill ran an IROC race. I'm sure someone else remembers.
