Odd Thursday Night race on August 25th at TooBad Motorplex -

We welcomed new comer Dick Gehrke to the group. Dick raced back in the 60s and brought along some great old vintage cars he used to race. It was obvious from what we saw of Dick's collection he was a hardcore slot car guy! It's good to see him back! It was also great to have Dan "Doc" Fritz back in the line up! Dan has been out due to an injury. Even hobbling around on a broken leg Doc finished fifth in the BRM race with an un-tested car! Nice job Doc, and it is so good to have you back! The overall buzz of the race tonight was "where's the Goose?"..................A mystery to be sure!

The night of racing started with the GT Class and eleven racers. After Rico whupped us we moved on to the Classic Sports Car Class and attendance had grown to fourteen racers. Mitch Brooks took the win in Classic Sports Car with his Slot.it Ford GT40. In fact the top three cars were Slot.it chassisied Ford GT40s with just 7/10 of lap separating first from third. Monte Saager's Ninco AC Cobra was third just one lap down making his the fastest Division 1 car of the evening. In the BRM Group C race Chris fought his way to the win narrowly beating Greg. And in the Over 50 Class it was Al returning to the top of the podium with another of his fast KTM powered cars, this time his Ford GT40 Roadster.

Sounds like a plan Mitch....

Sounds  like a plan.

Hello is these thing on??????

With all these canceled  races hope you all are doing good health wise..

To be or not to Be? Will we race or will we not that's the question. If you don't have anything  going these  Thursday  come on out and get some slot car racing 1/32 style in..

well Bill under the weather also . So is the race on Thursday on hold then?

heads up there is racing these next odd Thursday. not sure why it is not on the Upcoming Events.
classes are CanAm,GFX and OPEN normal start time.. come get some

The rules state inline. That can be adjusted if we want to go that way.inline you can get the 1mm ride height rather easy with sidewinder  gear going have to go taller tire to make the gear clear the 1mm rule.

Any body else want to put one together????
