Randy, Excellent job on the race yesterday! I got to make some new friends, and I thoroughly enjoyed racing the SCX NASCARs! The track was great, the cars were great, and the food was most excellent! Thank you for another great race!  And thank Myrna for feeding us!!!   ---------------------------Bill

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........................................crap!!!!...............maybe you need a vapor barrier??????!!!!!!

How much room do you have between the blue lane and middle lane on the front straight?

Since the photo shows the cars in positions on the same lane, how about a thin wall barrier between the blue lane and the middle lane on the front straight just in that area?

A thin strip of plastic as a barrier wall next to that from straight will work. I think I have some material that would work....   -----------------Bill

I settled on a Porsche 917 Spyder for the first race. Didn't have time to finish up my Ford GT40.

The NSR tires I got wouldn't fit the Spyder. Not enough clearance between the tire sidewall and the top of the fender.

I'm going to try the Yellow Dog urethanes.

You are right on the mark as far as I'm concerned! Building low buck cars and creating low budget classes is a real challenge but very rewarding! Our 1/24 NASTE chassis cars were based on this principle. Simple brass chassis, cheap Radioshack ($5) motors, and hard rubber model airplane tires (they never wear out). And as you stated they are still one of the most fun classes we race!!!! Thanks for your perspective!!!  ----------Bill

I guess that might be the easiest. They're readily available, and most everyone around here has at least one! I suppose you could also spec that motor for other classes....

Can some criteria or rules be established so various motors of similar performance can be used?
