Yes indeed, Merry Christmas to all!!

We had six racers show up for last Thursday's race, which ended up being a kind of an up and down affair. The ups and downs had to do with the track voltage which started fluctuating during practice while running some of the faster cars. The issue did not show itself while racing the low powered Classic Sportscars.  It was a close affair with Doc just nudging me out of first and Al a lap behind in third.  Next up was the points race for Classic Policar/Slot.it and the voltage issue showed back up with a vengeance causing cars to de-slot and crashes. Doc came out under the over pass and I hit him full bore causing a track call.  When the heat resumed my car developed issues which was a broken loose headlight assembly jamming against the front tire. At this point Al decided to restart the race after re-regulating the power supply which left me time to make repairs.  The race was restarted with no more voltage issues and Doc lead the charge followed by Al and Greg. Last up was Open class.  With only four racers left it was decided to do track calls with Mitch manning the computer. My car was really hooked up and flying.  I was able to put in three clean heats for the win with Al and Doc close behind.

What a fun day of racing. I really enjoyed the camaraderie. The racing was fierce but not taken too seriously. Thanks everybody.

It was a fun night of racing. Too bad Al and Howie had mechanical issues, they had really fast cars.

Congrats Doc

We did have 5 people show up to race last night. First up were the Slot.it/Policar classics. Al jumped out to an early lead in his always quick Slot.it GT-40 with me in hot pursuit. Al's GT-40 proved a little too quick for my 512M, but it was fun trying to keep up, but in the end he pulled out the win.  Next up was Group C. If memory serves Al and I battled side by side for the first two minutes with neither able to pull out a lead until I pushed just a little too hard and had an off.  A quick lane change and we were back at it and we traded offs for another really close battle. I could catch him but couldn't make the pass.  Al pulled out a slim victory in the end. Last up was Open and Greg and Al battling the whole way with me slightly back in 3rd. All in all a competitive, fun night of racing. And yes, we missed you Doc.

I will try to make it, schedule allowing.

I know I’m a little late to the party but I too am curious about no independent front wheels. My better cars all have them. It costs almost nothing to convert cars with alloy wheels, so it can’t be cost.

Worked well until you broke your car. I maintain it was collision damage :-)

Thanks for hosting Bob. I went home and removed all weight from my car and began installing new. Thanks John for the pic. Hopefully I won’t be such a menace next race, but it was fun tangling with Bill while it lasted

So, is this postponed for now?

I'm going to need help with address and directions. You can PM or email me if you don't want to put it on here publicly.

Are we going straight to racing or are you going to qualify them prior to Saturday?

I can make that work
