You have fun Monday, I'm  won't  be making the race.see you all next time around.

Steve Get your self a nsr wood guild for that car the one on it for plastic tack .

I was happy with the production car considering  I just put the chassis  together that morning  from spare parts and just swapped over the body from my Odd Thursday  gt3 car. Found that I had a good tire rub going on and a slipping spur gear. Both fixed so it all loaded and ready to rock next time out.  I got the  guild issue fixed on the midget  so that beast should at least not wheelie  out on the straight  anymore.  I had nothing but bad luck  in the flexi race. Maybe next I pre dip it in some salsa and see if that removes  the bad Jojo. See you all next time and grads to Bob and his broom

Slot car racer say they car nerfed  that other car

Well folks looks like another odd Thursday  race has come and gone. Up 1st was the nsr 908 iron race and once again Doc was assaulted  on the track . When I say assaulted  I mean  my car was mutable  times kicked to the cutter like stay dog. Al has made up his mind that these years championship  is going to be his and no more games.  In the end his hip checks only got him  3rd but still one position ahead of Doc. Greg stayed clean and two lanes Away from Al to take the win followed by Rico. Up next was gt3 and Doc bounced back to take the win  with Rico and then Al. Last race  was the LeMan class and Al had a fast ride in a fly gto40 and took the win by half lap over Doc and then Rico.The guys called it a night  and packed up for Home long break with Thanksgiving  falling on the next odd Thursday  so lots of time to tune up those cars and see if anyone  can knocked  Hip check Al off his winning streak.

I was out with bad  lower back I made some  fresh salsa that I had planed  on bringing out.

Was fun night indeed. My car stared out slow but picked up speed as the motor broke in.  It was close racing for the top spot with only two laps separating  Rico and Al and even closer between 3rd and 4th great close racing.

The experiment  of that bat mobile  has run it course  time to rethink  and jump on the nsr Mosley band wagon or not. May try a slot it gt car have few just sitting doing nothing but gathering dust. Time to hit the work bench.

Well it was the 1st race night of the 2026 season Up 1st was classic sport car and I dusted off my normally loner Ford Cobra  and was able to take the 1st win of the season  followed by Al and Mitch. Next was the points race and I was once again abble to take the win followed by  Al  and Rico. Last race was open and same results to as the 2nd  races.

Last race was test run of the 908 challenge  cars Al pulled off the 1st win with the  cars. It very close racing. To close at times  to the point a few cars got the good old hip check. all the cars are running very close lap times and it's all down to what the drivers could squeeze  out of them. These is going to be very close battle it will come down to who can stay clean and still run fast laps.

Well since shareway has folded up and went out business.  Does any body have a good source  to buy. Steal or beg for 1/24 driver figures to use in our tray builds for our cars. I'm not a big fan of the lexan options  that are out there. Not much for detail. Anybody out there with a 3d printer that is willing to print some out?

I'm looking for pre 1992 body before the hair loss and gut  and that fresh out of the military look.  I take one please.

Nothing set in stone yet but the hope is to run these as the 1st race of the night and then run our points race afterwards. Will start on the second  points race night and run every other odd Thursday  race. Race will be run IROC style. Car stay in the lanes they started and only drivers rotate. No adjustments  allowed to the cars only cleaning of tires with tape. You may use your own controller  heats will be our normal 3min races So these is your chance to come out and run. No more excuses  that I don't have a car it will all be down to driver vs driver. All the cars are set up the same.should result in some very close racing..hope to see lots of new faces at the track these point season

Once again  it was a very long day at work put in nearly  a 13 hour day. Little birdy told me there maybe  open Thursday  night  open track in the near future.

That's  good news hope to run laps once again on it.

Sounds like between  here and what was discussed  last race night most of the crew is on board. So comes the tricky  part, who is willing to buy one of the cars to be raced. Need three minimal cars and mybe a fourth  for a spare. Need white red and blue 908 test car with one black car for the back up. Who is willing to buy one and donate it to the track I'm  willing to buy one and the guilds and tires, need three other to step up and purchase  the other three.  I also will tune them .if you are Willing to buy, post what color you are getting and what ever color not picked I will get That color. Short notice the points  racing  is just around the corner.  Like to get these going so we have time to set them up and have ready for the 1st race. Thanks

So I was up late one night last week and had a thought about the championship and what we run for cars. What would  you all think if we built 3 cars  and tuned them so they were evenly  matched and  raced them every other race week for points. Be like a iroc every other week . I was thinking of the nsr 908 test cars. They really good right out of the box only thing we would need is a wood guild and thunderslot rubber drive tires. The cars would stay at the track and not be raced till the next race.

Yes wtg  rico you pulled out the broom for the sweep of the night.

Rumble  in the Basement. Come get your Summer racing in  ac cooled man cave.

There is section on homeracingworld forum  that was set up for naste. That one can post if it is decided  to close these down.

Another night of racing in the books. 7 brave racers  battle the Portland traffic  to claim  bragging  right for the night. Up 1st was Trans Am and there was some very close racing   when the dust had settled  I  ended up taking the win  with Mitch 2nd. Up next was polycar classic f1 and to say it was  a interesting  race and leave it at that. Greg stayed  out of trouble the best of all and took the win followed by a Al. Up next was open we lost few drivers I once again found victory lane with Al taking 2nd. Next race July 3rd come and get some early  fireworks  in at the track.

I'll admit I am biased towards metal chassis cars. In response to Doc's notation that the Womp entered in the Open Production Class finished last, I'd like to add that it also finished next to last in the Womp Class race. That particular car was actually not legal for the Womp Class, but was allowed to race. It is a Champion Thumper owned by one of the new inexperienced racers.

So let's dip into reality. The Womp Class rules call for no additional weight on the stock chassis. In fact no chassis modifications of any kind. This really handicaps tuning for improved handling. Especially when the chassis is of one piece with no provision for movement of any type. Overall dimensions of the two types of cars (Open Production vs. Womp) are similar.

Open Production Class cars for the plastic hardbody style cars are open to modifications. The cars entered in this race had multi piece chassis, and at a minimum were well tuned with additional weight bias. The top two cars did perform at a level above the Womps in their races. The Open cars that finished third through fifth were similar in performance to the Womp field of cars.

Although this is somewhat like comparing apples to oranges, I would like to point out that an Open Class Womp would perform much better than the class of Womps we currently race. Adding lead for weight bias (which is legal for the Open Production cars) makes a huge difference! Doc's comment left me thinking he was implying the Open Production class cars were superior to a Womp. I can assure everyone that is not the case. To a "stock" Womp as we currently race them, maybe. But given the same parameters for modifications, I am quite sure a Womp would dominate the Open Production Class. In fact maybe I should introduce everyone to my little friend at the next Womp race............................(Womp Master Dave Smith knows which one I am talking about!)..............And thanks again for those Dave!

I wasn't trying  to imply I was just adding the full results to the race that was all. Sorry if came across like that
