You have good points there Doc!

Some discussion today lead us to considering a dinner versus lunch optional meeting before the race, at around 4:00pm. Track would open at 5:00pm with racing to start at 6:00pm.

We also discussed racing 2 classes, with 3 or 4 minute heats (depending on attendance), one time through. Classes considered for right now were Flexi and Sportsman.

The schedule for the next Even Thursday on the Calendar reflects today's discussion.

Cars are starting to show up for sale here and there.

Again, great racing! Thanks Bob!

Another awesome race Howie! I can't believe how close the racing is with the Porsche 962s! I think the field has tightened up since Zack made the 2NASTE chassis available to all! That and the fact the new guys are no longer new guys and just plain FAST guys!

I guess maybe you didn't catch what I was pitching.........I really don't want to have to update the "eligible cars" list everytime a new car comes out.

I would suggest a modification to the rules:

Where the current rule reads:

"eligible cars:
Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti
Mercedes 190E
Nissan Skyline GT-R
Opel Calibra"

I would suggest modifying the rule to read:

"Eligible cars include, but are not limited to the following Slot.it DTM cars:
Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti
Mercedes 190E
Nissan Skyline GT-R
Opel Calibra"

Same goes for the Class 9 -Slot It/Policar Classic Class. I think it is better to give some examples of legal cars versus defining which cars are actually legal, thus creating and endlessly changing list.

My 2 cents ========Bill

Also, I received this info from Marty today:

FYI - I found a decal guy in Canada that has an arrangement with Team Blue Grove, see below. Like Team Blue Groove most of his business is RC, but he can make any scale. My decals were for a cost $8 or $9 for 1/24 Nascar.

Cars on the starting grid.

Tom Street's NASCAR body is the oldest body still competing in OSCAR events.

Bob Nakamura's award winning Chevrolet entry. Beautiful paint and detail!

John Gill loaned me this car for this race. It featured one of the newest releases of the NASCAR Chevrolet Camaro. I proceeded to ruin every decal on the body, as well as destroy a set of gears! SORRY John!

I did manage to get some photos this time around!
