Yes, yes he did. It was bloody quick and I think we should ban them like NSR's or everyone is going to have to buy one. I may or may not have one on order…

Re: proxy thoughts (7 replies, posted in NASTE)
Our Classic Sports Car class is very close to IPS specs but we would have to down motor them to NC-1 specs and a few people have cars that are too new but other wise they are fairly spot on. Once down motored they would be pretty much the same as the TLOR tiddler class. I've thought for quite a while we should down motor this class and have a year cut off. Just my opinion for what it's worth.

He was there?
That's what happens when you get to the races late: Bill has come and gone.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,163 replies, posted in NASTE)
After completing the Carrera Scramble proxy last evening we did manage to race a couple of Odd Thursday classes. As always the racing was very close at Autumn Hills, sometimes too close. We decided to race GT-3 first with me leading the way in what I'm calling the silent destroyer (aka McLaren MP4-12C) with 49.3 laps. Monte was second in a borrowed mostly yellow car with 47.7 laps and Doc pulled out a third place with 45.6 laps.
We decided to race Classic Sportscars for round two. It was a mix of podded and non-podded cars but since no points were involved we really didn't keep track. Once again I led the way with 46.4 laps in my Fraser-Nash barely beating Al by .1 in his Greenwood 'Vette. Third was Stan in a borrowed Ferrari GTO with 44.0 laps just edging Doc and Chris who both had 43.9.
GT-3 Results:
1 Rico 49.3
2 Monte 47.7
3 Doc 45.6
4 Chris 44.4
5 Mitch 44.3
6 Al 42.4
7 Stan 41.4
Classic Sportscar Results:
1 Rico 46.4
2 Al 46.3
3 Stan 44.0
4 Chris 43.9
Doc 43.9
6 Mitch 42.4
7 Dom 32.5
I would also like to thank everyone who came out to help with the proxy, your contributions are invaluable.

Nice work Monte, I bet it was pretty hard to put those decals on a white body. JUST kidding. Is it fast?

Thanks Al for a night of good close racing. The results were very close with some great on track battles. I took a couple of short videos of the GT-3 race. They can be viewed here:

Jeez, you make it sound like a prison sentence. My dad is from Walla Walla and you didn't go anywhere near the pen, as in State Penitentiary.

Topic: May 1st Sunday (4 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
Thanks Monte and Victoria for a fun afternoon of racing. I went on a quest when I got home to find my missing TicTac Porsche and lo and behold I found it. I have a table next to my work bench that I sometimes put cars on and apparently it had fallen off and behind the table, through my bubble wrap for shipping, past two boxes of die-cast cars and made it's way clear to the floor where it was resting peacefully. I am glad that it is not missing and lost.

You'd better hope you got the weight bias right as that looks rather permanent.

I have a GT3 on order but it most like will arrive too late. I do have an old Scaley Aston Martin DBR9 but the rear axle has been upgraded with Slot.it parts as the original wheels gave up the ghost long ago.

Re: TooBad Motorplex Up FOR SALE - GONE! (22 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
The last race on the TooBad track depends on a couple things. 1. If it sells soon. 2. If our house sells before the track does. 3. If it doesn't sell. 4. If our house doesn't sell. 5. If we find a place and I move the track with me.............well, you get the picture............
Things are shall we say...fluid.
