It is Festivus the holiday for the rest of  us and odd Thursday  race night. So who is bringing the aluminum  pole to set for the night so we can gather  around it and express  our grievance  over the past year. Should be some major lap time put down tonight with two very fast classes  being on the schedule.  Good luck to everyone  except  Al. Hope you loose a wheel or two.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [to Igor] Now that brain that you gave me. Was it Hans Delbruck's?
Igor: [pause, then] No.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Ah! Very good. Would you mind telling me whose brain I DID put in?
Igor: Then you won't be angry?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.
Igor: Abby someone.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby someone. Abby who?
Igor: Abby... Normal.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby Normal?
Igor: I'm almost sure that was the name.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [chuckles, then] Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA?
[grabs Igor and starts throttling him]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Is that what you're telling me?

Still think you should race the brown truck.
So We all know why no racing today. Bill was in the Batcave playing Dr Frankenstein on a slot car or two...

"4. 1mm min ride height"

.039", that is lower than what I am comfortable with.

would 1.5 be ok ?

Well, let's do it then. need some simple rules.
1. Any resin body.
2. any 14-k motor in any motor setup.
3. open tire chassis can be 3d printed brass plastic ect
4. 1.5 mm min ride height

So I have been in the scratch/resin building mode the last few months and have a hand full these cars and nothing to race them against... thinking a one-off race with maybe just a motor limit to keep the damage down. any 14k motor open chassis and body tire and run it after the normal race classes on a odd Thursday race night..

Congrats on the WIN Rico!

Not to rain on the congrats  but Rico wasn't  the one on the top step...

How is all that needs to be said about last night's racing.  Mr Prozac made a showing after along break from racing the 1/32 cars and him and ricci had a hell of a battle  in the lmp class with Zack taking the win. Up next was the points  race and more close racing was to be had here.  Al looked like he had the class covered till a late race cash with a back marker  snatched the victory  from  his grasp.  Doc took the win followed by Zack then Al . Up next was open and these had to be the race of the year so far
I'm just going  to let the result tell the stories when they are posted. Thanks again Al for hoisting and all the racers that made it out. See you all in two weeks.

Ok let me check and confirm My better half has nothing planned  for the day. If not I'll be there.

Well that was a good day of racing. My womp was off. Was ok for the 1st round but fell of the tire cliff the second go around.  Thanks Once again Bill. On a second note hope every body made it home with there hair still in one piece  with how bad traffic  ended up being. What a mess.

It was a fun day. Maybe need to do some spot height checks. Before we race next time. I WAS at fault with my flexy car. There were some  womps that may be getting close also..

thanks.. now for some new colors

The traction was really  hooked up on Monday.  Even body was  playing dangerous  close to the breakout time with everybody  tripping it at least  once. Some more than once....  Thanks for hoisting  Bill.

I think I hit it 3 times myself. And no cigarettes afterwards.

Today was mostly testing and tuning, but we did get in one Womp race. I was able to get my first fence post!

Doc, I found something for you!

yes well done on your win I wonder who came in 2nd??  that break  out of 5.5 just killed me today

really???? I wondered  were i miss placed my sanity...

ok thanks, glad I did not swing by then. would of found a empty parking lot and spilled champagne....

what time did you  all finish up at??

Seven souls braved the rain socked bye ways and highways of Portland and made it out to Rippen riding speedway.. doc was on cruise control and took the win pge. Up next was gfx and it was Al turn to be on cruise control and drove three perfect heats with out some much as a sneeze to take the easy win. All I can say is hosed and leave it at that. Up next was open and doc had his revenge  and took the win. But at a expense of some body damage to the Lola. Estimate  repair forth coming. The insurance company will not be happy. Well now we have our Thanksgiving  break. No racing to 12/09/21 every body stay safe.

Rumor  is that there going to be a throw down tonight at Rippin riding speedway . Better bring your sharpest knife to do battle on the track..

may need to have a choke award cup made up.....
