WHAT????!!!!!!!!!!!!!........................................I thought you were banned this year??????? 

P.S. I'll have the trophy plate with me. Can you bring the trophy so everyone can get a look at it? It's been awhile since anyone has seen it because it's always at your house!!!! LOL   ----------------------Bill

YES, come on out Mike. Jeff's place is on 68th & NE Alberta. Shoot me an email at wb0s@hotmail.com (wb zero s@hotmail.com) and I'll reply with his address and phone number for you.

Jeff said we will be racing the NASTE Vintage Modifieds. If you have n't raced these before you are in for a treat!  Think NASTE 55 Chev's only faster (Ok, not much faster) with open wheels..............1930's to 40's bodies, no fenders, RadioShack motors, and hard rubber airplane tires!!!!! They are a HOOT!!!

Monte is an out-of-the-closet SCX Digi-Racer!!!!

Mike, we're all wishing you the best of luck!!!!

The racers are out there, you just need to find them!!!!    -----------------------Bill

They look great Mike!!! Details like that really make a track more enjoyable!!!   --------------Bill

Thanks Rico!!!!

Cool Mike. Thanks for dropping in and sharing with us!

The 1/43 scale cars and equipment seem to be getting better and better. I have a few of the SCX cars and they work well on 1/32 tracks too.

Did you make the signs pictured in your photo gallery?

I actually washed the Vette a couple weeks ago! We've had it out to dinner a couple times since then.

So, only two joints left to Bondo and sand.....

I also got the glazing putty down today on all the smaller imperfections in the joints I already had Bondo'd & sanded...

Almost ready for the first coat of primer!!!!    ----------------------------Bill

Saturday, nice warm sunny day!!!  Bondo, sand, Bondo, sand, Bondo, sand, Bondo, sand, Bondo, sand.................................

This week, probably by Friday the 24th.

Got some Bondo laid down and sanded today...........

Measured the lap length; left lane = 84 feet 7 1/4 inches
                               
                                    center lane = 84 feet 7 7/8 inches

                                    right lane = 84 feet 8 1/4 inches

Wish I could take credit for great engineering design, but it was just dumb luck!!!!!    -------------------------------------Bill

I promise this will be my last post on this topic because I am just not involved and it is really no issue for me. But since the comment was raised regarding restarts and no other races around here use a restart process, I will say that NASTE does and has used restarts on many occasions (i.e. dead car at start or more than half the field crashing in the first turn). If we do call a restart we typically only allow one restart for any heat race.

   I would like to say that one of the things that makes racing slot cars fun for me is the car preparation and the feeling I get when I know my car is ready to race an event, and when the car successfully completes the race without any issues. If I come to the track with two cars, I can guarantee you each car is fully prepared and equally as good! To me that IS a big part of racing! To Randy's credit he pointed out to me that is not his vision or priority for BSCC. I understand and respect that so I have decided to pursue other venues.

   BSCC has a great track to race on, and great people to race with. Randy is an excellent host. I have had a lot of fun racing with BSCC in the past. However it is frustrating for me to come to any race where I am racing a car I prepared myself to compete, and during the course of that event another racer can just throw on another car and continue if he has problems.  To me that is the difference between racing and just playing with slot cars.

    All said with respect, kindness, and no offense given or taken.
