Thanks for coming out to race guys. I had a lot of fun! We did have a good turn out with 15 racers to start the night. We still had 10 racers in the BRM race which started after 9:00pm!

The new LeMans Class was a big hit. The racing was very close with finishes like we are seeing in the ever popular Trans Am Class. We tried something new in the Over 50 Class. We used IROC style controllers with one old style Cox thumb plunger controller at each driver's station. One of the controllers was one for hotter motors and had a lower resistance resistor in it. That one was a little touchie, but the other two were pretty similar. The controllers made the racing "interesting" to say the least, not to mention making the race a true over 50 year old event. On a side note, two racers were disqualified for not meeting the "official" over 50 rule. Both racers were under 50 years of age.................Just kidding, we didn't disqualify them, we just made them race in diapers!......OK, just kidding there too..........

Yesterday I ventured over to Howie's Rapid Raceway for some Early Modified racing. There weren't a lot of racers in attendance so Howie decided we'd race without turn marshals using a "track call" format where the track power was shut off if a racer deslotted. To be honest I don't remember ever racing under this type of format, although maybe I have and just don't remember (old guy thing you know!). Anyway I experienced some REALLY great racing! The Early Modified cars are very challenging to race. With the car's open wheels passing can be difficult to say the least, and with the "track call" racing format the field was kept tight for the entire race! You had to be on your toes throughout every heat! It was a very exciting race and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks Howie!

The info you have for the Slot.it Pro axle conversion kit for Fly sidewinder cars looks correct Doc.

I wanted to give racers a chance to get their new Le Mans class cars up and running before I put the class on the schedule. How about the May 5 race for the first Le Mans Class race?

We had the first work session at Dennis Hart's shop in Warren yesterday. With Dennis, Jimmy, Mitch and Al in attendance we got a lot accomplished! The bottom flat portion of the car which supports the axles and is the main piece of the car, was cut out and laminated together. The axle trees were also cut out to fit over the axles. This was all accomplished in under 4 hours! Great job guys!

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!
