I'll pass, the last 60 seconds of a 4 minute heat are a struggle for me.

I only have the one, I'm inclined to keep it. Good luck on your search, most people keep the body and trash the chassis.

Re: 1/24 3d printed bodys (2 replies, posted in Cars)
I think they are probably the future for scratch building. I think 3D printing is still in the early stages of development. The finished product is already better than it was a year ago but what I've seen they are not shall we say Impact Resistant.
In a couple more years we will probably see great things coming out.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing (91 replies, posted in Race Rules)
New/more classes? That's going to be a hard sell.
This class started as a '50s open wheel class with Scalextric and Cartrix cars mixed in with a few scratchbuilds using Strombecker and Monogram bodies.
The modern stuff kept creeping in like a cancer.

"Was bart feeling ok driving a chevy"?
If he races it again he will probably have a Ford 9"
He wasn't having much luck with that GM drop in third member.
I liked his gold and white paint, it was easy to follow around the track. There were a lot of black cars, sometimes Bill and I would go under the bridge and I'd be watching his car when they came out.

Probably re-reading the rules looking for 'shortcuts".

Yeah, they are a lot of fun aren't they.
Contrary to popular opinion that was me at Al's last night sans licorice. Sorry, no time for a store run yesterday. As per Doc's news flash there was a good amount of close hard-fought racing last night. Thanks again Al for letting us use your track for these contests. Looking forward to the next race.

Mine have been ready to go since Sunday. My '69 Camaro hit a 6.5 on my track, I'm trying to NOT touch it until tomorrow.
While my 917K is a bit quicker I think I'm going to race my 917/10 as I can go lap after lap without coming out, that should make up for those couple of 10ths difference

Re: How Fast is Fast? And How Does "Our" Fast Compare With "Their" Fast? (14 replies, posted in InSlot's Checkered Flag Raceway)
I watched him take laps on Howie's track, it was quick and tight. When I tried mine a few months ago with mine it would go airborne at full throttle but I have no idea what motor it has other than it is compact in size and totally unfamiliar with Wing cars in general.

I'll have the track open by 4:00 for guys to run cars, play ect. But will probably start the proxy about 6ish as that is the soonest that Rico can make it after work.

Re: Porsche 908 3D Printed Proxy (26 replies, posted in Events)
The purpose of qualifying is to get car that run closest to each other on the track at the same time. My timing system tends to scramble the cars no matter what order I enter them in. I'll have to check that out tomorrow.
But no to your question, it shouldn't matter.

Do you want help with that?
It's Boulder City Nevada, Mitch. I'll be there from 3/2 to 3/12. I'll try to qualify the cars before then, so we have an idea of what order to run them in.

Re: Porsche 908 3D Printed Proxy (26 replies, posted in Events)
What does everybody think about Thursday, 2/24? We could run it like an "Even Thursday" race. I'll have snacks and stuff available. If we can get 5 or 6 people, that would be great; 4 drivers and a couple of marshals should do the trick.
Any interest?
We already have the crap car proxy scheduled for that date
