Speaking of night racing..................I am in the process of building a car with head/tailights. The body is a Team Bluegroove Chaparral F2. I am trying to make it easy as possible for racers to participate. I am building this car with my Flexi chassis from one of my Can-Am cars. I am thinking a racer could take a chassis from his Can-Am car and just install this body. This body has a 4" wheelbase. This would be spec class and the Flexi chassis would have to be approved.  This may lead to another chassis session!  I do not have the rules all done yet. This would be a new class for the next season.

I would like to have comments on what you all think about this.

I will send Bill a few pics. of the progress so far so he can post them.

Yea,  I know they aren't worth much and I will cut into it. Just had to have somewhat of an excuse because I wanted to put the project off for now and get into something else!

I think this is going to be my entry in the Springwater 500 next time. It is still sealed from the factory! Found it in the shop yesterday. This was driven by Lake Speed, a national kart champion before he moved on to the NASCAR circuit. I hope I have some purple paint left!

Doc Doom; we would like to have you join the 1/24th. gang. I have an extra controller you can use if you can make it here. Perhaps someone has a car and truck to lend.

Mitch and any one else who may need screen: I have PLENTY of it!

Thanks to Bill for helping to spray the track, it was good from the first car on the track to the last car on the track!

Perhaps Bill will post some pictures that I will send him. Thanks Bill!

Stumbly; I would think that it would be neat to have you come over and check out the action! This is not my track, but I believe Bob would invite you also. Oct. 3rd. is my race at Rapid Raceway and you are VERY welcome to check it out. It is the Rapid 500. I always have cookies and coffee on hand to all that come through the door!

I am looking forward to getting one of my True Scale cars on the track, it is going to be fun. I think this will give the track a better flow. The new driver's stations will be a good addition also. Good design work Bill!

Man Bill; you have been busy! I will be gone for most of this week, but when I get back I am available to give you a hand if you want. Your progress is looking good!
