Having actually now read the entire thread (instead of just the last few posts) I realize that the idea was to have a class that was as much "box stock" as possible. I can vouch for the Flys being a fun class box stock, as that was the way we ran them in my old SoCal club. I would say, however, that replacing the front stubs with a solid axle would really help, putting good (as opposed to Fly stock) tires on the rear, and allowing weight makes a big difference in handling. I could live with just those mods. I have a bunch of Fly cars that would qualify, since that was what we ran in SoCal, including 512s, 908s, a 906, a T70.

I just made a (really bad) conversion of my Scaley P330 to Slot-It motor pod, axle and gears, and GT40 chassis. It could use some better tires on the rear, but otherwise runs nicely. I'm assuming it's legal for the other "classic" class.

Running Flys with replacement drive train will be much more fun than running stock. I for one am in favor of adopting SlotIt replacements. I have a favorite Porsche 908 that would be a super contender if allowed.

The track is "Autodromo Rossa Colline" (Red Hills Raceway in Italian). Since I'm in the Red Hills of the Dundee AVA and live off Red Hills Road, it seemed appropriate. When I was in SoCal, it was "Autodromo Baia Della Sud" (South Bay Raceway).

Guys and gals—

I know I've been saying this for quite some time, but I DO have a track, and it's up and running. The only downside is that it's in our shop, and with cold weather, it's very difficult to keep warm.When the weather gets a little warmer, I'll be inviting everyone down for some racing. The track is 4 lanes routed, about 68' per lane with a Pyramid 25XK power supply for variable voltage.

Some pix (when the track was in Southern California, slightly different now in the shop):

I'm interested as well. August is relatively free after week 1.
