I used to have a night race with the 962's once a yr. The popularity of it fell off. I would love to put it back on the schedule if I could get a few racers to partake. I have all the track lights still available. All it takes is a little wiring and lights, I bought mine at Radio Shack, they take a little flat round battery or some racers installed lights that light up with track power. It would probably take a new Bluegroove 962 or how 'bout a Lola MK111 D70 Bluegroove body? Add lights, not very expensive and if I get at least 8 guys who are willing I would gladly add it back into the schedule once a yr. So how 'bout it? I really liked it and had fun racing under the lights.

I have one car, a sports car and an OSCAR NASCAR chassis that needs running gear. Perhaps Bill will ad the photos. I will loan them to any one who wants to make the races at Tom's.

Yea Mitch, that is my intent. I know I improved it after the Springwater race, so leave it to collect dust 'till it is called into action again!

Topic: Columbia Gorge Championship race. (17 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
The second race of the Columbia George Championship using the 962 Porsche was supposed to be raced today. However as expected with this virus scare we only had 6 racers show up: Ted, Gearloose, Scott, John, Bob and myself and Jeff Fields stopped by to check out the "action". We did have some fun dialing the cars in and getting some track time.
I will reschedule this 962 race when this virus thing is over.

Man Rico, that car is nice!!
I made a comment on the Facebook True Scale site a few minutes ago. If we get 8 racers tomorrow we can have a good time. Less racers and we can call it a practice day or decide what to do at the time and still have a good time!!
Hope to see ya tomorrow Rico. Doors open at 11:00am.

Re: well we all are thinking it (84 replies, posted in NASTE)
I heard that the state wants to cancel everything that will attract over 200 + people! So far we are WAY under that figure! But each to their own, if you don't want to come to a race that is your decision and shouldn't have anything to do with the other racers who choose to participate.

Re: March 7th Classic NASCAR Race Details & Rules (10 replies, posted in Springwater Raceway)
Nice looking Zack. Don't worry about the paint, as you know slot cars get hammered and your fine paint will get scratched up a bit! A veteran slot car ( especially 1/24th. ) is going to have "scars" to show it has been in a battle or two or more! I am bringing a real old veteran (Richard Petty's Pontiac Grand Prix ) to Bob's race on March 7th. I may have bought it when new in about '84!

Looks good from here Zack, I zoomed in on it and I can see it is stronger than what we have. Looking forward to putting one together and dialing it in!
Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Topic: Controllers. (7 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
Fellow racers; I have a dilemma: I have four Difalco controllers. One I have been using since about 2003. Over the years I have purchased 3 more. The latest one I bought a couple yrs. ago and it has the heat sink toward the end of the hookup lines, I can't remember what the part # is for it. That is the one I am currently using. All my controllers have the brake and sensitivity pods. However now I am considering the Difalco 218 with traction control. I swore I would never spend over $200.00 for a controller, the DD218 is at least $350.00+. I have checked out prices on controllers; any where from about $200.00 to $800.00!
Racers: tell me the pros and cons about your 1/24th. controller. I guess I need to be convinced to spend the $.
