Most of the government's pronouncements with respect to COVID have been incoherent.

I bet you a chicken dinner that you can't  find a politician  that had not gotten the shot let alone the booster shot also...

Oh, I don't doubt that for a moment, as their "jobs" are "essential" too!

Well enough  politics. The good news from Al post is that we may be back to some sort of racing again.  That needs a big shot out.

Keep the politics out of slot cars haha, its my only escape.

I for one cannot wait to get back to racing during the week!

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

As soon as Al sets a date to continue the schedule, perhaps I'll schedule a "tune up" day the weekend before to work the flat spots out of the tires, and maybe exercise those trigger fingers.  LOL.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

Wished I took pics of one of the cars I just picked up from Bill. a Lola T280 that had the rear drive flat spotted right down to the rim . No saving those tires.....

I finally got my first shot scheduled for next Monday ! My hope is to get Odd Thursday's going again maybe in April. Last year we got just to one race past half way through the 2020 schedule. My plan is to continue with that schedule through the summer for points for the 2021 Point Series Championship. I'm eagerly looking forward to racing again !!!

hoping to see odd Thursday on the Upcoming Events soon..

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

SWMBO and I get our 2nd shot on 4/5. Drywall is up in the Game Room, they're coming to do the finish work tomorrow. After that, it's paint and flooring, then we can move everything back in. Should be ready to host a race by the end of April.

It's been 2 YEARS in the making. Thought we'd never get there.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

RRR will be open for Odd Thursdays starting 4/29/21 !!! Looking forward to seeing and racing with you all again !!! Classes will be PGE for fun and Carreras DTM for points.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

I think you should leave the flat spots on the tires, well just because.

So I got a call from the credit card people  today. Seems that one of my cards had been stolen.  THEY asked me if I wanted to cancel  the card and I asked how much did they spend. When they told me I replayed no. My wife spends 3 times that with it They can keep it saving me money.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

Thanks again for another fun night of racing. Competition was close and fierce but largely clean.

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

I only got into Al once. That  off in the sweeper was all on him. There no video proof to say other wise.
