Well...  I'm supposed to be a better driver than this but to be honest, I knocked Doc off in the first corner of both heats we ran together.  Sorry Doc.  Looks like some practice may be in order.

Thanks to all the racers for coming to play.  We'll be moving to the new Class for the next First Sunday, details posted elsewhere.  Vic has also posted some pictures and video to the Penguin Point Facebook page.

Not so sure about that one however there are both adapters for the long can pod and replacement pods for the shorter motor.

And I would say most of the Classics were actually powered by the venerable NC-1.  Only more recently with the loss of the NC-1 did they seem to move to the NC-5 making the cars ludicrously overpowered.  And since the Classics were always a motor holder mounted into the chassis it was an easy adjustment.

I have at least 5 spare NC-1 motors and a few adapters if anyone wants to go that route.  However I think the best choice would be to spec this one:

Jack Rabit Motor 14,000 RPM , Mabuchi type with 2mm double shaft  $9.95

Probably even relatively easy to get.

Anyone want to suggest a rally class?

Bill...

As I have seen the Policar F1 cars are running basically stock.  Anyone running a different brand that keeps up is not running stock.  They've either bumped up the motor, added weight or both and perhaps more.

I think the Policar F1, Thunderslot, and NSR all deserve their own class.  They are not to the point of overly expensive any longer and if we want to get to where we are running similar competitive cars unlike the wild west style GT and F1 classes then we need to probably look at classes by type AND manufacturer.

We've done this long enough that the best and LEAST EXPENSIVE racing really is similar class cars from the same manufacturer.

This doesn't mean we couldn't have our other classes as well but it wouldn't be unreasonable to have a few stock classes and run one of them each time.  It would certainly be easier on the new folks we hope to attract.

To that end we should add a DTM class using the Carrera DTM's.  Here's my proposed rules:

Carrera DTM

Stock with the following allowances:

1.  Rear Tires - BOSA (!) - glued/trued ok
2.  Traction magnets removed
3.  Braid can be changed/restrung
4.  Digital models can remove the light boards and digital chip *
5.  Weight can be added but you may not need to

* You don't have to buy a digital version.  But, if you do, either save the parts or sell/trade them to me.

The cars retail for under $40 and there are significant liveries so that we all aren't racing the same car.

I'm not aware there is one.

Picture test...

What do you mean?

That'll make a difference!

I was there and I saw Bill Bostic!  Only thing better would been to give him a punt or two.  Oh well...

Thanks again Al.  Always nice to take a whoopin'.

My first thought is we should use this motor:

Not too spendy and I hear it will be a decent motor as far as having similar performance across the line.  Mitch can probably tell us more.

No.  As long as you are using the chassis that came with the body you're ok.

Rico, no Lmp.  Wrong vintage.

Yes there are.  I'll make some.

You are correct.  It's the one brand I try not to have to purchase with a few exceptions.
