My box is packed and sitting by the front door. I even have my Carrera DTM packed for some testing. It was the first car to break into the 6s on my track.
It's getting some traction now. I've pulled out and tuned some cars with rubber tires on them and have been running the dickens out of them. Since I woke up with a cold Christmas eve our plans got postponed so between the three lanes I ran over 2,000 laps yesterday, some on autopilot and some as fast and hard as I could without coming out. It's a long walk around that track.

When is this move happening? Were in Bend this weekend but I'll be glad to help when I'm not working.

What do you want to race Stan?  I can come up with four similar Slot Its, Flys, or other cars like we race on Thursdays, Or I could bring four vintage 1960s Revells with aluminum chassis, or a mix of original brass chassid Monograms and Strombeckers.
There are also come Ninco classics Jag XK120s or the smaller ones 356s and Ferrari 186. If your lane spacing is at least 3 1/4" I have some 1/24 revell and Monograms. These all run well but might provide a small challenge to those used to running finely tuned Slot Its and NSRs.

There, that looks better. Seems like I spend most of my time editing since the stroke.

I can also probably come up with four similar cars, however since we all run all of the cars they don't really have to be that close, we spend our time in the super cars and we all get to spend equal time in the lemons too. What flavor of cars interest you?

Not just you Doc, it appears to have been having issues.

Stan,
They all have a chance, just how much are you willing to tinker.
I have an old Scalextric DBR1 with about 50% slot It parts, it runs pretty good for an old Scaley.

I'm still running mid pack with my Fly Carrera 6 AKA 906, it's not a winner but I love driving it. I'm also bringing a Fly Porsche 917 as a back up car in case the 906 goes south.

I just haven't been up to building lately, so I'm bringing the hearse, Which after last month seems kind of fitting.

Howie is was great fun, I hope I didn't burn up your other car too badly.  That was the longest I've been out of the house since the stroke, I was running down quickly towards the end, it was probably a good thing that the car got tired too.

Not me I'm afraid, I'm still not cleared to drive until next week.

Enjoy.

I'm not sure where I'll be Thursday, I'm just glad to be vertical at the moment.
I think I like the idea of LMP basically because the class is so broad that almost everybody has something that will fit. Granted with the variety of Manufacturers the performance is all over the place but that seems to happen with just about whatever we decide to race, as least everybody has a starting point without having to go shopping first.

By the 29th I should be done with this ridiculous schedule, I'll probably make it.
