Nay you just need some 14 gage wire.?(the stuff from Germany is the best) some 100 mph tape. 4 self tapping screws and medical grade Goss all and if that still doesn't fix a ten bound hammer.
Ok now, looks like wecare starting to get racers showing up for the odd Thursday program. Had 8 racers make it out to do battle on Al's track. The racing for the most part was very close throughout the night with who could stay in the slot would come out on top. Up 1st for the night we're the Scalextric gt3 cars. Doc green machine was on rails and three mistake free heats gave him a win over the field. The battle down the field were tight and ferice with very little quarter given. When the dust had settled Al took the 2nd step on the podium followed by Rico. Up next was the Money race and nobody had anything for Doc big v10 Viper with him once again standing on the top step with once again taking second Rico 3rd.last race of the night was open and same story line with Doc only having on track issue early in the 1st heat. AL had a chance he was up one tenth after his 1st heat but the pressure got to him and to many forced off pushing hard to make time cost him the win.. that was it for the night rest was test and tune on racers revo's trying to find more speed. For race results forthcoming. All in all it was a great night of racing..ta and sports car one are on for the next odd Thursday see you all then.
I dug out a few gt3 that had been sitting un used since the track tear down 2 years ago and not good news. All the cars that urethane tires on them. The tires turned to goo. Three others that were shoed with nsr rubber turned rock hard so only three out of about 15 had good tires on them so that's all I could round up beside my normal two back up Mercedes just one more reason I need to get the garage cleaned up and a track built..
Well it is looking like it's going to be GT kind of night with gt3 and gt revoslots being the cars racing.. going to have our own mini Bathurst 12 hour gt race. So mates grap you self a Foster's and come do battle..
Yep was lots of fun. MR Bill would of sweep the classes if not for a broken lead wire on the womp. That thing was fast. Only running a few tenths off what the flex cars were running. He was seen locking it up in the pit box to keep prying eyes and cameras away from finding his tuning secrets. Rumor is nothing makes up for big horse power...
Well little late but it was a light turn out with most guys going to the swap meet instead of racing but Bob made it work and it turned out to a fun night with plenty of track time to be had. Thanks for getting the race in. Next stop is across the River at Robs

That came out really nice. Great job.
better bring your a game every body has gotten way faster than what we were when you last raced. 80 laps runs are the norm anymore..
Been missing your great smile and smooth driving skills at the track there Montie hope you can start making that great drive out on odd Thursday to grace us with your presence...
Well we had a good turn out even with a few die hands not making it out. The racing was great all night lot of side by side racing. Al has taken over duec duties after finishing 2nd in all the races. I'm glad to be able to hand that duty down to him I held the crown for far to long. long live the new Duec.
That is slippery slope that once we get on there no getting off it.. we could use that logic for a bunch of cars if we decided that. So I'm thinking no..
O boy that was some close racing for the top step on the podium... I'm sure Al was asking if you got all his laps counted....
I would of only been a spectator. Don't have a Indy car yet
I THOUGHT about stopping by but the 2 hour drive from canby to stark Street changed my mind.
What time did you all finish up at. I almost came over after my work but figured you all most likely were done or close to it. Would of been around 4pm
The revo slots cars were fun and The racing was very close. A few less offs and it would of been much closer than the final results showed. There were lots of side to side racing lap after lap before some tried to get that little extra and either tipped out or used the old saying 8 tires are better than 4.
The mechanics have gone through and installed new plugs on the big v10 and installed fresh Goodyear eagles on the back of the breathing porsche for good measure. They reported the cars are tuned to a razor edge and it all up to the driver to get the most out of them. Track condition should be good for some really fast lap times come race time. So with that report let get ready to boggedy boggedy boys let's go racing....
Great turn out at Bob last night lots of big smile on every body face for the most part. And no that was a grimacing smile of pain on my face all night. Getting old sucks
Thanks Al for letting me hang out today waiting for the roads to clear enough for me to get home.
Have lots of snow in east Vancouver with still more coming down. Roads weren't to bad at 430 but that going change with it the hard freeze to night. Does not look like it going to warm On Thursday at all. Every body stay safe and warm.
Yes it was indeed wild night. going take me a lot more laps before I get that track down. howie nearly had his car land back at his pit spot with that rider he had...
It was good night of racing even with heated discussions on full size electric cars and other things. I think I had something for Al in gfx but the back up car was not as quick as my primary car. Really weird that photo edged part getting bent and contacting the gear.. all well we are even starting the second half so it anybody championship to win. Going be interesting with a new class part of the points races. See you all in two weeks.
Yes sir looking forward to to great racing tonight. Remember it's not the size or the car that counts it how well it races that matters.. close racing is were it is at..A little jab at those die hard 1/24 guys it all in fun...
