HEY!  Is that an OLD guy referrence???

Monte and I are pleased to announce we have increased our inventory as well as the list of tires we now make. Although we have over 400 tires now in our inventory, some of the more popular pairs are somewhat limited in quantity due to the fact we make tires to fit over 30 different types of cars,. But fear not, we are just getting started and will have even more tires within the next 3 weeks! We are also still interested in knowing what types of cars we should be adding to our list for future tire molds!

Here's the list of replacement urethane tires we now make:

The rules for the Le Mans Classic Class have been posted under the Race Rules section of the forum. They are listed in the Odd Thursday Night Racing section.

Odd Thursday Night Racing at TooBad Motorplex on April 7th, 2016

We started the night of racing with two preliminary races to test out the new proposed Le Mans Class. Both race grids were filled with both Scalextric and Fly cars. Although the Fly cars proved to be superior in performance, they also experienced the most mechanical failures.

The night of official racing started with the F1 Class race. Chris Kouba's new car proved to be the car to beat, and well, nobody did. In the Can Am Class Chris again lead the way to the stripe with his Slot.it McLaren M8D. Finally in the BRM Class Rico put an end to Chris' run for the checkered flag. In the Over 50 Class it was Al leading all the way with his outstanding KTM powered Cheetah!

Sure glad you located your car Rico!

Last night's race was a lot of fun!

Make it when you can Rico. We can always make "test" time!!!

Doc. I got you down for a pair of Trans Am tires. What Can Am car are you racing? We are limited as to what we have that fit Can Am cars.

Monte, Somehow the Scalextric Eagle & Lotus cars did not make the list. I just found a pair of stock tires to mold from. I think I better order more mold material!

Sounds good Chris.

Just a side note, we will be racing the same two classes we raced at Al's on the last Odd Thursday. I'm considering running the same classes at back to back races. One race on Al's track then one on mine with the same cars. For something different we could have individual race winners as well as combined race winners. 

Any thoughts?

Sorry guys, I've been side tracked with the swap meet and my computer being possessed.

Anyway I have updated the calendar to reflect the Odd Thursday Night Races through June.

Hey Doc, I'm out at the Portland Swap Meet this week, but I plan on swinging by for the race after I leave the track. There should be plenty of racers and cars there, probably even one or two you could borrow to race.   ==========Bill
