You're welcome Rico, thanks for making it over!

Your handicap only applies to that particular car in it's winning configuration. If you de-tune or make significant changes to the car the handicap would not apply.  Only proven dominant car & driver combinations are assessed a handicap.

You can be proud you have achieved the handicap status!  You are in an elite group!

Friends & Relatives - TooBad Motorplex - August 1st

My beautiful granddaughter Cailin

My friends Len & Sue Gillean with my beautiful wife Diane

Odd Thursday on August first at TooBad Motorplex. We had ten racers in the mix, with four of them being under the age of eighteen. It was a fun night of racing, crashing, and a little nerfing. It was good to see Len and Sue Gillean back in the garage, as well as Greg "Greenman" Petrolati back with a controller in his hand! Gary "Goose" Gossett brought out a fast Slot.It GT40 for the GT Class, and loaned my granddaughter Cailin a Ninco Jaguar to race in the Classic Sports Car Class (thanks Goose!). Speaking of my granddaughter, she made her grandpa proud by completing six three minute heat races (in two different classes) with less than one de-slot per heat! The entire Flood family was in attendance and all of them raced well. Russell, Todd, and Thomas "The Chisel" duked it out and all finished within just a lap or two of each other. But at the end of the night it was Rico Locati with a clean sweep, winning both classes! ............HAMMER - We missed you !!!!!!

Here's the way it went:

Classic Sports Car Class:

1st Rico Locati 49 laps
2nd Bill Bostic 48
3rd Terry Abbott 45
4th Greg Petrolati 45
5th Gary "Goose" Gossett 45
6th Tracy Flood 45
7th Russel Flood 43
8th Todd Flood 42
9th Thomas "The Chisel" Flood 39
10th Cailin Dunbar 33

GT Class:

1st Rico Locati 51 laps
2nd Bill Bostic 51
3rd Terry Abbott 51
4th Gary "Goose" Gossett 50
5th Greg "Greenman" Petrolati 49
6th Tracy Flood 49
7th Russell Flood 45
8th Todd Flood 43
9th Thomas Flood 41
10th Cailin Dunbar 37

OH BOY!!! More POWER & digital too!!!!

I can hardly wait!!!!!

I think that part is TOP SECRET !!!!

OH MAN, I totally spaced and forgot our number 1 rule in that heat you recorded; TOO BAD!!!!!

I will strive to not make that mistake again!!!!!    ----------------------Bill

Odd Thursday July 11, 2013.

Terry Abbott took the win in the Classic Sports car Class with his Ninco Corvette. Just for the record there was some controversy over a turn marshaling incident that may have benefited Terry, but not so much for Dorothy who scored the second place finish (they still went home together, so I think they worked it out). Dorothy finished second to Terry by less than two feet! Also noteworthy was the -2 lap handicap Bryan Trachsel carried and still finished fifth!

In the GT Class it was Rico Locati's night. Rico finished a solid three laps ahead of second place!

After the GT Class race we ran an unofficial F1/Indy Class race to set a baseline for car development. The cars were able to complete 57 to 59 laps in three minute heats running at 12 volts. The cars raced were pretty much stock, with only minor modifications and tire changes.

Lastly to round out the evening, Chris Kouba brought out his 1/24 BRM Porsche 962s for another round of IROC racing. We ran the BRMs at 9.6 volts for three minute heats. Bryan Trachsel took the win completing 57 laps. Bryan Trachsel and Bryan Dickerson both posted sub-nine second laps!

Thanks to all that made it out!

YES!  More tracks are always welcome!

I really like routed tracks, but if plastic my preference would be  Scalextric or Carrera.
