I mean, come on...we have 150 companies in America producing toilet paper. Do we REALLY think we're going to run out?

Re: well we all are thinking it (84 replies, posted in NASTE)
I think if we treat this as a fairly more contagious version of the regular flu and act accordingly, we won't have a huge problem. Cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough, wash hands thoroughly afterwards, keep surfaces clean, stand a few feet away from each other, and let me win. That will solve the problem.
:^)
Really, I think this has been blown way out of proportion. Yes, it's serious, but no more serious that SARS, MERs or H1N1. Many more deaths from each of those. Warm weather will cut down on the spread.

Yes, Tom, I actually got mine in a couple of days! Can't complain at all about the service, in fact can't say anything but good words for Jim DiFalco! I won't have a chance to use my controller until we get back from vacation, so I'll have to wait until 3/5 to see how it affects my driving. Can't make it any worse...

Re: Controllers (15 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
The 1/24 cars that need different networks would be the high-powered wing cars. Not necessary for the 1/24s we run (BRMs) or I think for the ones they run at Rapid Raceway. I have not received my DD304 yet because it's taking my bank AGES to transfer to PayPal to pay Jim. I have used Zack's DiFalco (I think it's a DD304) and I really liked it. I have been using a DS controller that worked fine, but it's a little unreliable (solder joints come loose every now and then). There's a good explanation on the DiFalco site of how all the controllers compare; you can also e-mail Jim for info. He will ship free to Oregon, so it's best if you order directly from him.

Re: Controllers (15 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
I just opted for a DD304. That will run everything and it has traction control as well. DiFalcos seem pretty bulletproof, so even though they're $$$$$$, they're worth it in the end.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,163 replies, posted in NASTE)
These cars are lovely bodies but overpowered for the chassis. With the right tires and calmer motors they might be lots of fun. I have a great love for the King Cobra and the Porsche 904, the Cobra coupe, etc., so I would love to be able to race these. As of now, they're shelf queens until I can build better chassis for them, or....we race them as a new class!

I'm also with Chris K on having no F1 cars in this proposed class...MonoVel or Carrera DTM seem like good candidates.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,163 replies, posted in NASTE)
This was kind of the founder's theory behind my old SoCal club...run cars as close to box stock as possible to allow for newbies or cheap ba****ds like me (who don't have a lot of free spending $$) to race at least one class all the time. It worked out well, and the racing ended up being pretty close, as all the cars were as good (or as bad) as each other. I'm for it!

I'm really bummed that I can't make it this year, but we just have too much going on at home. Lots of construction stuff on our Airbnb/Game Room project...but it will be spectacular in the spring! Can't wait to have folks over for the all-new venue for Autodromo Rossa Colline (Red Hills Raceway).
