I agree for most of classes that might be the case.
sport car one and two there are a number  different make of cars and scratch built and all seem to run very close. the rest are manufacturer base classes that have only one or two makes running in them top..
le mans
trans am 
gt3
maybe the can am will all go  thunderslots but I think the racing going be very close either way.

"A few and a couple" against the standard out-of-the-box car.  Imagine what that Thunderslot might be like with time invested in it like was invested in the few and a couple - which is what will be next.

I'm ok with this but for the majority it's just buy a Thunderslot and go racing.

We could also do lap adjustments for those that still want to run non thunderslot car in the class. Would have to see what the lap times are before jumping  to any conclusions.  But say .5 per heat that would be 1.5 laps. Or set the track break out to 6.0 seconds and if you have a non rider brake out lapp does not count. But all that can be adjusted as  we start to race and see were we are at between manufators.

I dont see anybody so far speaking  out against  so I say it  is a go and remove the thunderslot from not eligible list for can am class.

Another odd Thursday night racing as come and gone.. we had 5 racers show up to do battle on the  course know as Rippin' Ridin' Raceway.. the battles on the track were close and the slightest mistake or touch cost you time on the track that once lost was hard to get back.  So with that said, it was who ever made the least amount mistake would come out on top to night..  1st class run was classic 1 and Al put in 3 clean heats with only a off to slow him down to take the win with Mitch taking a hard earn 2nd.
Up next was the always fast and close battles. hand down the number uno class people want to run... let hear it for Le Mans
these was the class to watch as the top three battle neck and neck for 9 min straight there was no quarter given as the drivers battle to pull out a lead on the other cars .  once again it was who ever made the least mistakes was going to take the win tonight.... drum roll please......... and the winner to night was Doc taking the win by two laps. with Al taking 2nd and Mitch just two tenth back. on the same lap.
up next was open and once again doc took the win with Al and Mitch 2nd and 3rd.
was good to see Gregg and Jeff back from his west coast tour. and thanks To Al for opening his doors so can be little boys again.. hope once the rain sets in we will start to see more racers show and join in the fun... till next time stay safe and do not eat the yellow snow...

Current rules states
Thunder slot brand cars are NOT eligible for this class (2/4/2018)
These thread is to see as a club that we drop the non eligible and allow them to run in the can am class. only thing I would add is drop the magnet for new racers in can am if a thunder slot is used



1. these will help new racers getting into the class get up to speed faster.
2. keeps cost down
3. well tuned slot it are just as fast
we also have the following rule that can be used ;
4. In the event a racer wins more than one race with the same car (thus establishing a pattern of dominance in any class) a vote may be taken of the racers in attendance to determine if the racer will be assessed a handicap (of 1 lap or more) for future races when racing that particular winning car. The handicap only applies to the winning car/driver combination. The racer can de-tune the car with a substantial motor downgrade, or switch to another car to avoid the handicap.
we only had 5 racers make the show tonight and all were in favor  of running the Thunder slots in the class.
the sponser of the class has given the ok for the change. just need to hear from the rest of the club on yes or no..
so please reply with a yes or a no thanks and lets go racing...

rules rules rules.  here i sit laid up in bed with my back messed up and nothing better to do than surf the nest and such...
I'm thinking we should drop the no Thunderslot rule for Can Am. thinking the reason behind it at the time was good but we are running times with current non Thunderslot cars running Thunderslot times.   now nsr has the 917k that is a legal car per the rules. after all can am in real life was balls to the walls almost anything goes kind of racing. 
yes we all put alot of work. well Zack did in getting these slot cars to perform. and  I would understand if we do not... but also think it would help new racers get up to speed faster. .
