I'm not for adding "new" cars once the class season starts.  Next season might be fine but not for this one.

And I'm with Zach, I already have plenty of Scaley cars including one on that list.  A pretty little thing.

Bill, I feel your pain, it's why I dislike most things Scaley including the Trans Am class.  But it's good we run a wide variety of elements.

But for heavens sake quit helping that Al guy.  He's plenty fast already.  ;-)

Those all fall into the Over-50/Vintage classification.

We should probably adjust the Over-50 to include the smaller motors that were used in those days.  Or make for two brackets like the Classic Spo's Ca's I and II.  The smaller, lighter weight motor should be a benefit.

I could use a class in money laundering?

Yes, the garage is not just those little 1:32 scale cars.  Here's a few of the larger scale cars I've gathered up lately.

From my youth - my favorite car - the RussKit Porsche Carrera 6.  This one is complete with the green axles.  a little bit of work and it should prove track ready.

Here' a COX Dino Ferrari Spider - could use a new decal, a little TLC.

And, an almost perfect GarVic other than needing some new tires.

Will there be a purchase option for non-attendees?

Check with Mitch, he probably has those in multiples.

So the Slot.It Alfa would be legal then.  I never even considered it...

That's quite the difference on the track after cleaning.  What did you use?

Freaking amazing!  Well done.

To be precise I need as little as possible but as much as necessary.

How much tape does it take to cover a screw?

Sounds like NASTE should offer up a roll of tape at each of our tracks.  Then compliance would be a simple task.

We should remember to check prior to each heat just like cleaning tires.

They are currently running Slot.It Group C.  I'm pretty sure we all have those cars.

No issues here.

I was talking with both John and Tony from Tacoma and we are discussing the possibility of a home and away series with the Tacoma group.  Basically we'll go race up there on their tracks for a day and they'll come down here for a day.  We'll hope to see two venues each day.

We did this a few years ago and had a great time with it.

So, who's interested in a trip to Tacoma?

And as we found out it didn't much matter what car Bryan was racing.  But we did have some fun with him.

To do that effectively you'll want to make different race configurations for the different classes or you'll go crazy trying to get the right breakout in for each class every time.

Frankly, I'm all for this idea.  It offers a reasonable limiting factor to each class.

It does not appear they have found an adequate solution from what I read.

UR30 will be installed soon and we'll see if there is a connection - no pun intended.

Good with me, one less part to have to dodge.

Ya know, that car is so smooth that I don't push it, I just drive it around.  It would be fun to see what the trigger-masters like Chris or Flyin' Bryan could do with it.  Probably get another lap or two out of it.  On the plus side, it doesn't come off (see driving style).

But Mitch, your car was flying too.  It seems this class has quickly evolved to some serious speed.

And after seeing Bill's rocket you can see why folks like to buy NSR cars.  Fast as greased lightning right out of the box.
