Well it is the day of another odd Thursday race day. Classes to night are gt3 and sport car 1. Let's see if Al can get is mojo back and get back to the top step of the podium.... rumor is that he has spent a many sleepless night down in the slot cave trying to find the sub 6 sec lap. Only time will tell if all that work played off or will some one else snatch victory and the glory..

I heard they cancelled NHRA Hot Rod Reunion looks like a major sponsor pulled out at the last moment
it seems that Medline Industries, Inc the top manufacturer-suppliers of walkers decided that there new small block powered walker would not be ready saying that safety and noise concerns made them pull the product from the reunion.. there were many looking forward to testing the new walker the local Golden Corral Buffet & Grill. and drag stripe
with such short notice there were not able to get another sponsor to take there place..

breaking new flash........ these just came across the wire... the racing was hot and fast to night at Al's man cave. all the racers were putting down amazing laps and the result was that records fell like the autumn leaves in a wind storm, when it was all said and down doc pulled out the broom for the sweep and won all three classes. Results forth coming.
thanks again Al for opening your doors and letting us race in your cave..
Results:

Re: vote to allow thunderslot cars in can am (39 replies, posted in NASTE)
I ran mine in the class as a test to see how it would go ran 6.2 all day with it. Best I could get with my slot it were 6.3 with my average in the 6.4's. With that all said they are close. But in the end AL ran a perfect race with no de slots and I also had perfect run and ended up taking the win by three laps when it was all said and done. So I'm on the fence and will let the club vote on what to do. We still need to see what a well tuned nsr can am will do. That may be another can of worms...

In my opinion this last rule change made the Can Am class into the Thunderslot class which we basically already had with the Open Class . This rule change will put my Slot It Cam Am cars on the shelf. I voted for the Cam Am class for one of the points race classes as it was which was a good competitive class. To change the rules within a week of confirming the point race classes with little discussion and a questionable vote does not seem quite right to me.
I thought you said you were on board last odd Thursday night race? we can all have a discussion about it again these next race and move the the class to the end of the season to get more feed back from more racers in you feal that is what is needed. Im good with what ever we has a group want to do. I was thinking change would be more towards the new racers. coming in.

I think Monte is better at math than Doc. Seems like this rule change pretty much eliminates most of the interest in the Open class.
or we can change open to gt3 open and have some fun with those type of cars..most clubs across the world have such class and there is big proxy out there with over 30 cars trying to make the race.
my math is fine race 3min heat times three right there 10 sectors to the track .5 is half a lap so 1.5 after 9min of racing...

Re: vote to allow thunderslot cars in can am (39 replies, posted in NASTE)
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.
