I agree with Mitch.  If I have a least favorite class it's probably Trans Am.

I'd be happy with:

1.  Can Am
2.  GT or Classic Spo's Ca's
3.  LeMans

But with only three classes I'd be happy with most anything.

Looks like we could use a rule change and a bulk purchase.

Thanks to Al for hosting the race this past Saturday night.  We had a good time.  Food was great and the company was friendly as always.

I'd like to congratulate my wife for winning a heat!  She really enjoyed the green car.  I think we all did.  smile

LMP...  got a few - probably.  Nothing new so I'm sure I'll be following around behind the newer models.  And nothing new there either.

Thanks to all that came out to play this past Sunday.  Weather was just nice enough that we kept the garage door closed all day.  Cool outside but inside we saw some hot racing action.  Congratulations to Jeff for his first Penguin Point win.  His McLaren was just a-flyin' around the track.  It took an IROC set with a mix of DTM's for me to finally find my way back to the winners circle.  To top it off, Victoria made a killer batch of beef stew.  Here's some results:

Can Am:

1.  Jeff Fields - 45.7 laps
2.  Terry Abbott - 45.6
3.  Dan Fritz - 45.1
4.  Mitch Brooks - 44.3
5.  Monte Saager - 43.9
6.  Tracy Flood - 43.5
7.  Al Christensen - 43.2
8.  Dorothy Abbott - 42.9
9.  Tyler Petrequin - 41.8
10. Todd Flood - 39.7
11. Victoria Saager - 39.4
12. June Petrequin - 38.4
13. Perry Petrequin - 37.5
14. Jake - 36.4

That was a fun night.  Looks like I'll need to source a Ford GT.  And no, it won't be red and white.  ;-)

Another great looking BRM!

Todd, how about a picture of the guide flag adjustment?

If we still had a rally track we could probably offer a round locally.

Ok, we've talked about a rally class.  As it turns out the World Rally Proxy is getting ready to start up and they will be using Scalextric Group B rally cars.  For the most part these are:

Ford RS 2000
Audi Quattro
Lancia Delta S4
MG Metro 6R4

Interested in joining the proxy?  Perhaps this would be a decent start for a rally class.  Ebay has a number of these cars available.  I'm already on board with a Lancia Delta S4 but I'm also considering the Michelle Mouton Audi Quattro.

In the immortal words of Stig Blomqvist at the Maine Forest Rally when discussing dust on the course: "Don't be a wimp, put your foot down!"  Been there, done that, got the autographed t-shirt.

I think we agree here that the two choices that work best are open classes and classes with spec cars of the same caliber.  More enforcement or at least better classification would be a plus.  I would hope open class would still have some motor limits?  More is not always better.

Do we just outlaw this car now?

Or try it against the Thunderslot?

Well, how about that, weather so nice the first of February we were compelled to open the garage door for much of the afternoon.

This was the first race for the new Can Am class.  Competition was close.  I was doing great until my car decided to pit about half way through it's third heat.  Oh well, maybe next time.

Can Am:
1.  Terry Abbott - 46.8 laps
2.  Goose Gossett - 46.6
3.  Al Christensen - 45.3
4.  Dan Fritz - 45.0
5.  Greg Petrolati - 43.7
6.  Mitch Brooks - 42.8
7.  Dorothy Abbott - 42.6
8.  Monte Saager - 40.0
9.  Jimmy Jones - 38.6
10. Victoria Saager - 38.2
11. June Petrequin - 38.0
12. Perry Petrequin - 36.2

IROC Race #29 - Ninco Stratos

12. Perry Petrequin - 34.0

Thanks to all for coming to play.  Always good to get a whuppin'!

Of special note, Bryan Trachsel stopped by for a visit pre-race.  We offered him track time but he'd just got out of surgery for his driving arm recently and had to decline.  Perhaps another time.  Always good to see the Flyin' One.

Agree with Al.  I know Chris, Fernando and I all ran Thunderslots in that 3rd race.

And they were quite good.

And unlike slot-brother Mitch, I can bring a poor quality car to every race for every class.  Don't ask me how I do it.  Tuning secrets like this are closely guarded.

I'm fine either way.  My objection is to any slot car of slot.it quality bursting in to the Classic Spo's Car category.  Barring scratch-builds it really is about the only pod choice for that class.  I'm happier with it in it's own class.  I prefer non-podded classics.  Feels more classic to me.

This is nothing but a personal preference.  Had I a Slot.it Ford GT I might feel otherwise.  But I'd probably just run it as a GT.  Or get the NSR Ford GT.  Hmmmm...

Choices, choices, choices.
