Pick a night and we can broadcast it to the group using the weekly scheduler.

I'll make it if I can.  Thought I'm guessing some would prefer I just keep making tires.  wink

Yes.  I'll even try to remember to go.  I would have been there the other night but I just plain forgot.  We've been busy lately.

It appears that tire production is finally underway, here's proof.

http://www.naste.org/members/monte/tires2.jpg

This week I'm making tires that have already had molds cast including:

Carrera DTM
Ninco Classic
Scalex Camaro T/A
Fly Porsche 906, 908, 917

And some others.  if you have requests from the current molds let me know.  I can probably make another four or five batches.

The following week we'll probably start on NEW molds including the Spirit 512.

Also the tire web site will be having some updates...

You can run the car stock with good tires and it should run just like all the rest. 

Don't cut the pods.  This isn't designed to be a big mod class. 

Run as stock competition should be close.

You can say that again. ;-)

Alrighty!

Building cars for next season...  with my current load I'm about three seasons out at this point.  ;-)

Scalextric, Ninco, Carrera, and many others make cars for these classes without pods.  If we just eliminate cars with pods all together than the problem will solve itself.

I believe that a car with a tightened pod is still a better handling car than one without.  There's a different design aesthetic involved.

We have plenty of classes for podded cars, let's have one or two without.

You are correct.  Se have other classes where the GT40 can be a winner.

My dad went through the first pharmacy class at OSU before it was OSU.  He said the winter was so cold and they were so poor they drank spoons of Tabasco sauce to warm up.

Not so sure about that.  I would have had them by now.  wink

Ebay has some.   For retail I suggest Carrera Slots.

They are all about the same.  I have run a proxy for a few years - the Carrera Scramble.  The cars are amazingly even as our results have proven.

Your choices are: Mercedes, BMW or Audi.  Buy a new one and remove the magnets.  We'll be making tires for those cars soon.

Alright, does the moderator need to step in here?  hmm

Good news for Al, get better ASAP.

On more health related news Greg P. had knee surgery and expects to be staying with his sister for a bit while he recovers.  He thinks he might be giving us a laying on of the plastic come January.

Get well ya'll.

Bill, show them your box that AJ did the outside art work.

We really should amend that class to allow the smaller motors as well since the RussKit's and a number of others primarily used the smaller motors.  Not to mention all the other motors that were stock in the day like that padlock looking thing in Al's Cheetah that used to kick our tails regular.  Let the big dogs eat!

I really like front wheels that look like front wheels.

Yes we do.

Check your tire size first.

Spray the track?  Somebody got a leak?

Very nice.  You may want a hand truck to move it around.
