Well, that is a start. hope to see you at one of the tracks.

thank you for not bringing up the evening races. I rather forget that it never happened

Those  factory tires are pretty  hard to start with and will work great if that's what all the cars are also running on. BUT if you show up at a club race thinking that will hook up your going for a big let down slipping and sliding. Around the track. Urethane  work great but if your running against nsr shoed cars it not going to be much of a fight  for long.. the aftermarket  rubber tires are a good deal in the long run. You get two sets vs one pair with Urethane. There bis lots of little tuning tricks to be done even on  home based  slot cars that will make them run great and don't cause you a bunch of cash to do.. just have true wheels and tires does wonders for a car.  Hopefully  some race night  you can make it out and get your feet wet. I wouldn't  worry about  setting up anything for club racing  till you get a few races under your belt. We all ways  have a loaner or two that new comers can run.

Welcome to the rabbit  hole.

Monte you have PM

Well race day is here let's see who brought  there A game with them can Al get some those points back he lost last round. A few short  hours and all will be revealed.....

No just redoing the one we have a spitting it up like we did gt class. so like cars are racing like cars. we already seen how the nsr compare to Policar's..  I would love to see those older car race but lets face it that is not going to happen if they have to run with podded cars.  . . taking all of these ..

f1 is a mess
I think we need to make some adjustment with all these new cars that have come out in the last few years
we should break them down by decade

surprised with the low turnout. maybe hang over from Monday nights racing. I had a long day at work so no go for me. still looks like it was a fun. lots of nice cars there. Was bart feeling ok driving a chevy? must have finally seen the light and switch from the dark side of the force.

Yea we miss seeing you also. Hope to see out racing with us all soon
