John, I've already heard it was another great event! I'm sorry I had to miss it!  --------------------Bill

I don't think I'd have the heart to crash one even if I had 6 of each! Besides, they really don't look like they were built to be run. It appears making them "race ready" was not a priority....   ---------------Bill

Phwew, I was thinking maybe it was your "race" arm.....of course that could have been an advantage for the rest of us!!!!  ----------------------Bill

No, I didn't notice. I haven't actually taken it out of the tin to take a good look at it. I was trying to figure out the differences between the Gurney and the McCluskey to see if I HAD to have both.....  --------------Bill

Thanks Rico, and yes I'll be out from time to time. There's just so much racing going on all around now that I can't make time for everything. In the past I haven't done any racing at all during the summer. These last couple of years I've worked in a bit more, but it's put me behind on everything else. Right now I'm just trying to make sure everything is set for the upcoming NASTE season. I keep telling myself one of these years I'm going to just race with some of the other clubs. For quite a few years I've been wanting to make more OSCAR races. The OSCAR races take more time and dedication for me. I'm not a fast car builder, and as you know I like to be at least somewhat competetive. So that means lots of time commitment for me to race the OSCAR events (again that's me). That's the one thing that has made the 1/32 scale cars so enjoyable for me. I can get the cars set up or built much quicker than I can build 1/24 OSCAR or PASER cars. The 1/24 NASTE cars have also filled a "time gap" for me. They are pretty quick and easy to build as well. Well, enough ramblin' on. I'll see you at the races!  ------------------------Bill

That's funny, a lot of them look like kid's toys to me! I'm looking forward to trying to make "racers" out of them...... I always tell the guys at work; "you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit"........... we'll see.  ---------------------Bill

I had ordered two from an Ebay seller. My plan was to try them out as potentila IRCO cars. After reading the review I went ahead and ordered four more. These things are CHEAP, and NASTE needs a set of IROC cars to run at Kimm's 1/32 routed track in Eugene. I'll try them out when they arrive to see if they are suitable. I'll keep ya'll posted.  ------------------------Bill

Message is off to Bob......  -----------------Bill

Oops, I'll let you guys know in a week or so..............first hand.............hey, at least they were cheap!  ------Bill

Rico, You have correctly deciphered what I was trying to communicate! Yes, they are 90 degrees out of position. And like you I figure for the price, as long as they run!  -------------------------Bill
