Here you go Doc, this may just fit in your garage.
It was the gentle banked curves and the undulating straights that were the inspiration of my track. I originally drew it out to just about this size but when I started building the table I felt it was overwhelming the room so I removed a section out of the middle.
Ok taking donations. Maybe if we all raid our bank accounts we could come down with the down payment.

John got away before we could capture him on film. He has a another fence post coming to him at the next race!
I think he didn't want to wear the ears.
Ok well sounds like we need another chassis building 101 class and build 4 cars.
Why not use 4 of the naste chassis that Zack made and use blue groove body? Scalesuto also has a chassis

that's good news
Another fun but long day of racing at the track. Everybody has really stepped up their game. Good to see two new faces racing. I think the hook has been set good and deep on Those two!!!! See you all in two weeks.
Well, another bust. the threat of covid keep most of the racers away from the track these last odd Thursday so it turned a test and tune with a fun 15min race thrown in the mix... hopefully in two weeks this will be all dying down and we all start getting back together and race.
area71 makes a 3d printed one
no racing today Bill so you have all day to glue that body back together and repaint. Bondo is your friend.
Damn Bill, that must have been painful to watch.

When Bill gets time he will post a picture.

no problem most of the online stores have the Hudy. no such luck with the scaleauto. have emails out seeing when they will be back in stock. if i get a no ideal response then I'll be getting the Hudy.
they show the Hudy. not seeing the SCALEAUTO
Mitch58 wrote:Doc, my Razor lives in a drawer but my HUDY is always on the bench. I've never used the Scaleauto machine. I believe that is what Zack uses and I think Al has one too. With the price of them you may want to give each one a try.
i used Al's one-time and I really liked it. I'm leaning towards that brand. only problem nobody has on in stock
Well, it time to step and get a real tire truer. the razor not cutting the mustard or the tires.
torn between the Hudy HUD103100 Tire Truing Machine and the
SCALEAUTO SC-5072 EVO 2 Tire Machine with Electronic Speed Control
the hudy is in stock but everybody out of stock on the Scaleauto one.
Well, no racing tonight only 4 brave souls battled the nasty holiday traffic and one, Me ended up getting a fing migraine so we ended up doing the revo slot qualifying instead. try again in two weeks....
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?
