What's that smell in the air ?. Could be hi octane fuel and exhaust from 800 hp v 8 engines warming up I. The afternoon sun...get those thundering monsters from the golden Era of onload racing tuned up for battle...
Al reports it is a typo will need it changed to 07 13 23
That might be a typo should be the 07 13 23.have to give Al a text and make sure.
I remember those display case I may have even been one of those kids pushing and drooling at all the amazing toys it displayed. A DNA test may be in order.
Yes sir I 2nd that. Time to get those low riders up off the track surface.
Cough cough between the dust and cobwebs it really been slow. Must really be the dog days of summer.
Man does anybody dust around here???
Another fun close night of racing at Al's place last night. We had 6 racer make out to do battle on the track and it was a battle.up 1st was sports car 1 and with 14k motors and skinny tires you had to drive the car like you stole it to make time so there was lot of forced errors trying to make time around the track. Doc pulled out is trusted ninco Cobra and was able to squeeze out the win over Al's smoking smooth running brass chassis Cobra followed by Greg's equally prepaid birdcage. Up next was slot it classic and to say these wasn't a interesting race would be a under statement. Race came down to a Ford vs Ferrari battle and unlike the movie the ford's did not come out on top..both top running ford's had driver forced errors resulting in confused corner workers fumbling with cars and important time loss. Trying to get the the cars back into the race. We all learned a very important lesson some of more than once. In the end Rico stood tall and very happy on the top step followed by Al and then Doc. Last race of the night was open class and these class is dominant by thunderslot cars. These race was a battle all night with cars just mm apart on the track and there was lots of painted traded and cars sent into the rails in the close battles. There was very little quarter given.you had to pick your pass with great care and hope to get away to the next corner and hope you could hold onto your lead. In the end Doc was able to hold off some hard charging cars and take the win. I think Al took 2nd followed by Rico and Gregg. But that race was crazy with how intense the racing was. Next race in two weeks is can am and trans am.

Me no can post me pictures Me so sad
In my best odd ball impressions from Kelly's heroes.I was assaulted by those flexies.you know what I mean by assaulted,huh ? WELL I MEAN ASSAULTED.
I'm happy to loan it to anyone that wants to enter it.
There you go Rico. I would but already have a car being built.
Look like we just going to all have to show up at your house and do a intervention on why you must run that car...
O man come on give the old 917 one more run..
Hope you get better soon, take care and stay safe.
He lives he lives. You need to dig that proxy 917 out of retirement and send it in to tha le man's proxy that going on at home racing world forum. You have been called out a few times. I'm building a Lola t70 for it
Last point race of the year and it did end with out a little excitement and drama added at the end.it was another light turn out with only 5 racers making it out. We were hoping for more with many saying there were coming out. Either Al checks didn't clear or traffic was a issue. We will never know which was the case. So up 1st was group c slot it and Doc car was the class of the field and took a easy win over the field. Up next was the money race and once again Doc had the car to beat. Doc started out in the white lane so he would have to wait and see were every body was running before coming in on the last heat of the night. Doc had a 2 lap cushion on the field and if could back up what he ran in the 1st two heats he was home free. What that saying never count your chickens before they hatch. Well all night I been preaching make sure you hook up your controller correct and what do I do. Yep I did it. The green flag Flys and full blast into the turn 1 wall look down and see it hooked up wrong. Get it hooked up correctly and find I smoked the brake pot. So least to say red lane with no brakes is some what of a challenge to run. Rico ended up taking the win followed By Al and Doc taking 3rd . That was the end of the night of racing .in the end Al got the bad luck he was looking for but not enough guys on the track to make up the points lead Doc had. Even so the turn out were on the light side the racing was ways very close and fun. Hopefully we start to get people to start coming back out and racing the 1/32 cars. See you all in two weeks

I 2nd that. Hope it was a mild case.
Last points race of the season these Thursday. Doc going in with a 6 point lead so the pressure on Al to make his move.he is hoping for a big turn out and for Doc to have some bad luck.. anything can happen in racing... We need to start discussing what we want to race for the next year. RICO already put out that he would like to see the SLOT DTM class added to the list. Mmm I wonder why that is Rico ? The revo slot are a big hit so there two out of the 4 .I'm thinking slot it classic and policar f1 or thunderslot
Yep was fun for my 1st Saturday race. Learned a few things about preparing these bigger cars.the secound round just killed my lap count but it happens think most of use had a car issue at one time or another. Nobody was going catch that 33 car.
This coming Thursday is the 1st but I see nothing on the calendar. Are we taking a break or just an oversight?
I believe it the last points race. Me and Al were talking about the same thing. He just needs to put more on the calendar so no break
RACE REPORT FOR MAY 25 2023. Fresh off the wire.............. we had 5 racers that battle the Portland traffic to do battle on the track. Up 1st was slot it dtm and with it being a spec class the racing was expected to be close and it was for the most part. Rico car stood out as the car to beat if you want to stand on the top step and he backed it up with a easy two lap win over Doc in 2nd and Greg third Rico was the only driver that could run in the high 6's during practice and during the race.everybody else was stuck in the 7 so easy win for Rico. He can say he took the 1st win in the class. Wtg..up next was Trans am and Rico was again showed that he a fast car in practice but bad luck with a guild wire coming off dropped him down the running order . At the end it was Doc taking the win followed by Al and then Dave.last race of the night was thunder slot open and these one was a close race with everybody putting down low 6 secounds laps with the win coming down to the last heat and tenths counted on the track Doc once again was able to squeeze out the win by 2 tenths over Al followed by Greg in 3rd . That it for the night guys back up and headed home. Thanks Once again for hoisting the race Al
Yea? Whats that smell? Can be the smell of victory or is that the bitter smell of defeat that is lingering in the air? OR could it be the smell of hope that all the late night testing and tuning will finally pay off and that long waited 1st win will come to pass. Maybe it non of those and It is Al smoking up some fresh meat for all to enjoy has relive or youth and play with toy slot cars and remember old friends that are gone but not forgotten.
The photos all look like they're there to me Doc.
Bob did receive a bad luck award!
Yep I see them now. . Must of been a issue in the matrix.
A few pics didn't load there Bill. Second question Did Bob car draw any blood when it went head hunting ? I THINK BOB should of at least relieved a new award. AK headhunter
