A good crowd and a good time.   A few minor items to deal with but nothing too out of the normal for a first race.

And a short, pleasant drive to boot from Hillsboro.

Thank you Mitch and Chris!

Yes the 917 is legal for the class in question.  I ran mine.

Yes.

I could use one but I'll just slag the 917 around the track.  It's at least easy to drive.

Sorry to say it's not a date we can make.  That's the Saturday before our major rally event, we'll be route checking from Tualatin to Newport.

Looks good to me!  I'll be checking with my local pusherman.

There goes the rest of my free time.  Nice post!

How about a class of Ford GT's and similar models?  At LeMans a Ford GT and a 356 Porsche were not expected to race in the same class.  With the new Ferrari coming from Policar maybe there will be a suitable challenger.

I have nothing against the Ford GT.  I have at least 4 of them, 2 Scaley, a Slot.it and an NSR.  I just think that when you have a car that so dominates that it's about the only car then maybe some class adjustment/creation is needed.

No problem, Doc. Time well spent is time well spent.

Thank you, it was our pleasure!

Jeff appears to have too much fun with this.  Well done guys!

I think Classic 2 might as well die haha.

I think it just needs an adjustment.  In my opinion classic cars shouldn't have pods.  I feel like both Div 1 and Div 2 should run podless.  And not with cars that have had their pods tightened.  This is a chance to step back to the older type of slot cars.  Closer in concept to the 50 and older class.

If the Ford GT is your choice there are still ones to choose from, most notably Fly and Scalextric.

I would add the following to both classes:

Classic 1:  No pods, no scratch-builds.

Classic 2: No pods.

Allowing brass/scratch chassis in Classics 2 would be about the same as allowing the Slot.It cars without having to fight the pod battle. And yes I know a Policar Ferrari is coming.  I'm not that thrilled with a two-car class either.  Perhaps we need to consider adding a podded classics class.

I gave this some thought myself.  It might be easier if we replaced two of our current classes and kept two.

What do others think?

Well, I'm sorry he feels bad.  Not for the result.

Sorry...

What did I miss?

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.  Looks like you got 'em.

Missed you tonight.

The Camel was yesterday.
