I think we are going to have to bribe his boss into making him work on the next four odd Thursday evenings.  Either that or find some other way to keep him occupied.

Hey Doc,

Would you consider allowing the Maserati Trofeo? Maybe not quite GT3 but I like the looks of them.

Bill, thank you for the excellent reporting with pictures.  It seems like quite the event, how far away were teams coming from?

So, I'm wondering how big of a gun you had to put to Monte's head in order to get him to agree to do this? Since I know how much he LOVE's to race HO cars.

Quite a few of the newer Carrera cars have decent performance on the track with little modifications. The DTM's come to mind and I have a later model Corvette that is pretty decent. The Ferrari 365 P2 is a good runner as well but obviously not for a GT3 class.

Well, I have a yellow Soccer Mom car that I just love to pilot.

I think you should re-spray them brown and add eyes, ears and a mouth as they kind of remind me of an anteater.

It was a enjoyable night of racing despite the damage to my once pristine 962.  Doc and I had several intense battles, some won and some lost by each, but what great fun. Thanks to Bill as always for the hospitality and especially for the extra coffee.

Here's a pic of the dive plane/canard.

I have Porsche's for the first set. I do have a Ferrari but not sure I'm willing to risk damaging it by racing, especially with the higher speeds at Howie's.  No car for 3rd set.

They fit the Slot.it Prototypes (Audi, Lola) and the McLaren Gt-1's plus other European (Avant, Spirit, Black Arrow) brands that use the larger tires. Question, do you need original tires only or will Indy Grips work as well?

You sure can, remind me next week and I'll bring them to Odd Thursday. Do you have tires to fit the SCX GT cars? You also should make some 17x10 Slot.it tires as well.

I've got an older Carrera Ferrari F1 but not sure if the same tires fit the newer ones.

I think we should stick with a single brand to allow those from out of town to more easily match up.

I would have to say that I agree.  KISS method is usually a good way to go.

When I had the body from Brutus on it's original Champion chassis it would wheelie down the whole straight at Howie's with out the Cockerham modification.  Modification added, it only wheelied slightly sometimes.

Oh, I am fully aware what you were implying I was merely poking fun at your improper use of the apostrophe :-)

I've seen or heard about that club on one of the forums. I'm sure they would welcome you as the post I saw was about someone visiting/racing with them.

Tacos for every man? Was that Tacomans or Taco man's and who is taco man?

I too had fun last night and I only broke one car, plus I managed to hook up my controller correct every time.  I do owe certain people a little help off the track next time out and they know who they are. ;-)

Most, if not all of these items were not slot related, so you can breathe easier. My shop had become the catch all for unwanted items.
