Anybody looking for Womps for the upcoming Monday night racing season at Rob's Redline Raceway?

The cars in this batch are complete, but will need the proper Professor 25K motors for racing in Rob's Womp class. Bob Nak has the motors for under $15. These cars are $30 each.

Everytime I get together with Dave we can't help but reflect on the "old days". Simpler times for sure, but just as much racing fun from my memories. Today I got an urge. Back then when we were racing the hard body 1/24 inline cars, the club for a short time  also raced some 1/24 anglewinder chassis with 36D motors and clear bodies. They were way superior to the inline hardbody cars we were racing. At this point in time I left the slot car racing hobby for a period of time. When I returned the club was still racing hardbody cars with inline chassis, but they were now powered with much faster super 16D motors and inline chassis that featured hinges and separate moving parts. I was now way behind the curve. I had never really gotten up to speed on the first generation of hard body chassis design!

Building the new generation of chassis for racing with PASER was very difficult for me, and it still is! This and my recent reminiscing and discussions with Dave got me to thinking. How did the chassis designs jump from flat pan style to the hinged style with all the movement? What steps did I miss in between? Today I decided to explore, using my own strange reconstructive path.

In those early PASER days of the inline scratchbuilt chassis I believe it was easier to build up the motor boxes in an inline configuration. You could also keep the the wider tires inside of the 1/24 model car body with an inline configuration. There were sidewinder chassis from the '60s with 36D motors, and then there were anglewinder chassis with 16D motors. Two piece stamped chassis that worked great! But my question is; was there any experimentation with angle or side winder chassis for the 16D with just a flat pan design? Well, being a slot car adict that has plenty of used "Flexi" type chassis and parts, I though I might experiment a little.

HO, 1/32, and of course our favorite, 1/24! Highlights in the 1/24 bodies include:
A very cool IMSA style Corvette, ASA Stock Cars, 4.5" wheelbase NASCAR trucks and stock cars, an Indy car direct replacement for the Pro Slot kits we race at Rapid Raceway, a cool Matador stock car, a Shelby 427 Cobra for Flexi type chassis, and a beautiful Shelby Daytona Coupe that also fits a wider Flexi style chassis.

Thanks to Jerry Weddle for donating the Shelby Cobra bodies! They came out great Jerry!

This is the tighter infield half of the track.

This is the high speed half of the track.

There was a good racer turn out for this race with 12 entries.

Lap length of the Dust Devil's track is approximately 155 feet. This thing is a monster!

There is a donut on one end. It is wide and flat.

The bank is also wide, and very steep! Can you say "wide open"?

The bank stands over 5 feet tall!

Most everybody started off the evening with one of Rob's awesome hot dogs, a soda, and some practice on the track. The first cars to be gridded for the first race were the Production Class cars.

Since this class was implemented into the race program at The Redline, racers have been making modifications to the cars to improve their performance on the very fast Redline Raceway! The introduction of the NSR Hypercar has upped the ante a bit. At the conclusion of the Production Class race Hypercars finished one and two.

The fastest lap times also belonged to a Hypercar that was built and tuned by Mike G.

The seat has been spoken for and the bus is now FULL!

I tested out my new sprayer to apply the traction compound to the track surface. I am really pleased with how this sprayer worked! I poured my traction compound mixture into the tank, then used my compressor to presurize the tank to 30 PSI. After that it was push down on the lever and go. No more pumping and re-pumping. It sprayed in a nice consistant even mist. This thing is The BOMB!

Doors open at 9:00 A.M. in the morning.

I will do my best to try and set up a few track days this spring/summer and look forward to having everyone over for some races this next race season.
