Thanks Dorothy!!!!

That sounds cool Mitch. Bring it out to the next race!

Monte, Victoria and I made a trip over to Bob's on Saturday morning for a little testing. The testing went well and Bob's track is a lot of fun! Bob's track is in a room he designed and decorated just for the track and racing. The race on the 20th will be exciting!

Don't forget, this will be a POT LUCK event!

See y'all on the 20th!!!!   ===============Bill

I inserted your photo for you Mitch.

That looks like a K&B or Aurora chassis to me. Although I don't think I've seen one that color before. All the ones I have seen were just bare aluminum. That one looks like it might be anodized?

Sure looks like it's in excellent shape!

Don't try to get away with using Turkey Feathers! We'll know!!!

I'm going on Amazon to see about buying a drone with an infrared camera to position over your place so I can find out how you are setting up your cars, and monitor how much practice time you're puting in!!!

Odd Thursday Night on Decemeber 11, 2014.

First off, what wind???? Just the typical east county gusts here in Fairview!

We had seven racers for the evening, including one newcomer, Jeff Fields. We raced hard and heavy through the three usual classes of cars, then proceeded to bench race late into the night. I think I enjoy the bench racing just as much as the track racing! Must be because I'm an old guy!

Gary "Goose" Gosset was in top form and flew by us all for the wins in EVERY class! Well except for the Historic F1, only because he wasn't racing one! Jeff Fields placed first in the Historic F1 division. Rumors were also flying about bringing back the handicap rule. But I think it's just time for the rest of us to step up our game (pun inteneded). Next race I'm loadin' for goose!
Bring it on my feathered friend!!!

Thanks for posting Monte!!!

" Maybe Flyin' Jr. should be his new name", or maybe just Piper Cub???

I LOVE THE FICKLE FIATS!!!!

They fickled in my favor this time, instead of fickling me over!!!!!

Hey Goose, I tried some of the old silicone tires today. The ones I tried were the really wide type, like the candies with the plastic wheels. They seemed to hook up well, but they didn't allow any slide in the corners. Seemed to make the car want to tip or just go straight at the corners. The tire diameter of all the cars I tested today were 1 1/8 inch. I tested Cox, Classic, K&B, and a Dynamic chassis car. I am not opposed to using 1 inch as the minimum outside diameter. We'll do some more tire inspections when guys bring their old cars over. Thanks for the input Goose!!!
