26Ds?  With new tires my Asp can run lap after lap in the 6.3/6.4 range and feels like it is glued to the track. Out of fairness I may have to just leave it at home.
On the other hand I found another very clean "Classic" industries chassis with a Lotus 30 body that has never been painted, as in still clear. I hope it runs as well as my Porsche.

The over 50 class is 1/24 scale, as it needs to have the 36D motor for that class.

Maybe I'll bring Chris over to visit her sister.

Doc, I don't know what your building but I have a sidewinder pod for this motor if your interested. The body needs to be rather wide though and the IPS is inline only.

I think I may have a couple also Doc. Greg AKA Greenman had a bag of those motors. he speced them for the TLOR proxy in the tiddler class.

Wow, that's some close racing. I was a spectator/marshal for this one, I plan to compete in the next one.

I built my first wooden box when I started drag racing with the club in Vancouver. I built it to hold 10 cars confident that that would be all I would ever need.
within a couple of months I had to choose which cars I was taking to the track and which ones I was leaving home.
It's a sickness.

On a side note, one nice Saturday morning I thought I'd just strap that box to the back of the Harley and ride on up there. Well the Harley doesn't ride as well as the front seat of my pick-up. I spent the entire morning at the track reassembling slot cars that had been shaken to pieces.

Even though I didn't race, it was great Bob, now I have even more parts scattered all over my bench and kits in the mail.

I'm still trying to finish my TA ll chassis, I was hoping to use an extra sportsman chassis for a couple of races but the wheelbase is wrong. Meanwhile my late model sportsman will have to go another round. I had bought a '64 Fairlane body for this year but it is a bit too narrow for this chassis.

Thanks Zack,
I may have to do some tires over, I may have missed a couple of steps. Already My truer has made a big difference in performance.
I may not be a better driver, but it feels like it. It also makes Scalextric and Ninco look like  better manufacturers.
Some cars that I had given up on suddenly have come to life.

Yeah Doc,
I get the intent of the proxy. While I can't drive my Thunderslot really any faster than the top 5 cars that I qualified, I can match the top 5 cars without doing any of the work.

Audie's intent was to build the best car that you can and enter it into like competition, it was never meant to be about the best car you can buy.

I have 3 Ford GTs, a Ferrari and now a Lola set up to these specs mainly because that is the type of car I enjoy the most.

I will probably dig thru the drawers and find something for the proxy, maybe an MRRC geared down to handle that 24K Policar
motor.

Some of those guys had great running cars using the stock chassis. One of the guys had a mostly stock Carrera Cheetah that ran better than any of my Carreras have ever ran.
