Team Bluegroove bodies are great. My .030" 962 has taken some serious hits ( especially at Springwater Raceway ) and not a crack in the body. If any of our hard bodies become unavailable or get too expensive, I would suggest going to the Bluegroove bodies.

Speaking of old cars, I am bringing an AJ Foyt Pontiac #14 for the Flexi NASCAR race on March 27th. at Springwater. It hasn't seen action since the '90's at Slot Car Central!

Either one of those cars are nice but I would take the #43 as it is very nice. Good catches Rico!

Well it has been 6 or so years from your last post here and I have a question: Did you ever get the flyers? My memory is questionable!

Good job on the addition to your track Bill. I am looking forward to the April 3rd. race where we get the TA2 and the Can-Am out on the track.

Thanks for thinking of us Rico. Take care.

There will be more racing for sure. Bill and Bob are going to have a race the next two weekends I believe.

Ted has a Volteq 3010-EX power supply unit. He is asking $120.00. That is a good price, if I didn't already have one I would grab it. This unit is used for testing motors etc. for your slot cars. $120.00. Phone # 541-410-4518.

You might as well go for it Doc, what's to lose? You might have some fun building and racing!

No I don't, but give Ted a call to find out the specifics.

Nice Rico. I like it. Glad there is some building going on during this Covid deal.

Ted has two controllers for sale.

One is a third eye, 1 yr. or so old. $200.00.

The other one is a Difalco. Almost brand new, used only in practice. $200.00.

Either one of these is a good buy.

Ted's phone #541-410-4518.

Thanks for keeping us updated Zack. It will be so nice to hit the tracks again and actually race, that is what the hell these cars are for! And of course to BS and have a good time!

Yes, there was a scheduled race yesterday, but not enough showed up to have one! So we tweaked and practiced and drank coffee, ate cookies etc and BS'd and had a good time any way.

The next race is scheduled for Dec. 5th. We will see what happens then!

Maybe I can get Bill to post a picture I sent him last night.

Back in the day ( '60's/'70's ) 1% meant that 1% of motorcyclists were bad, like the Hells Angels. I have a lunch box in the shop that I used to carry my lunch in and  I painted a Harley on it with the 1% . I was one Bad Ass! Yea right!! Ha, Ha.................etc!
