A fine afternoon for racing with 15 racers in attendance. It was great to see George V. and his sons again after some time as well as meeting his friends Chris, Piper and Cricket. Hopefully they will get a chance to come back.

Yes. I think so. Or weight to power ratio of some sort.

Re: Discussion of Classic Sports Cars ECT. (28 replies, posted in Cars)
It occurs to me that another aspect we'll want to control is weight. Since we'll be using lower powered motors the weight of the car can be a significant issue. A lighter car will get moving quicker. We'll move from motor wars to weight wars.

The best starting point would be the motor list that we published based on Robert Livingston's testing. It does not include some of the newer motors since he stopped doing this but is certainly a very useful reference.

So is there some manor of motor limit or will there still be a power divide?

You should consider hiring help. Find a younger individual to strain their muscles. A least you should be happy to know you still have muscles.

Are there rules pertaining to the horn(s)? I think a set of moose horns would look awesome.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,192 replies, posted in NASTE)
True Mitch. The ban was only about price. Since then things have changed significantly.
I bought my Thunderslot Lola for about $60 as a white kit.
In my opinion we should run classes that allow for low-cost entry as well as those that allow for the higher value offerings. Otherwise we run the danger of warding off the newer members merely on the shock of the sticker price.
For example, you can run an out-of-the-box Slot.It class that allows for removing the magnet and adding a little weight and you can run a Slot.It class that has a lot less restrictions so that you basically rebuild the chassis to be something other than what came out of the box new. One is easy for beginners to grasp the other not so much. Yet from 5 feet away they still seem to use the same cars.
I'm all for allowing most any car to run and I'm also for tighter restrictions. To me the best racing is when we all have similar setups and it comes down to driving skill.
And as always happens, in time the optimal setup becomes apparent and those with the interest will adopt it. As an example, how many Baby Kings did we start to see after the narrow little Cobra sprang to life?

Chris, the forum does not have a poll but the main site does have that feature, we haven't used it for a while.
