Strange not to be there, but I'll be working late for the foreseeable future, or at least until we get this project back on schedule. With winter coming one that might be a chore.

Sounds like you're clearing space for a shop. Did you find a contractor?

I've got my Slot It GT40 and a Racer GTO250 that I've never been able to make competitive in the Gt class, but have always liked driving them down motored as a classic sports car.

Then there is the Racer Maserati 450 that doesn't fit into any other class but is a blast to drive. I did some research to see if anyone ever ran it in USRRC, but found that the Maserati 250 was run but apparently not the 450.

  The class still has the 18K motor, the only difference between class 1 and class II is a podded chassis and 8mm tires rather than 7mm tires.

  I know you have a couple, and Al built one out of a Monogram Corvette, Now there is a 3D chassis available for the Scalextric L88 Corvette, which with it's wide stance could be made very competitive. I think several of the guys have podded cars laying around that don't get much action.

Racing tonight, Trams Am, and F1

Look at those numbers for BRM, 1/10 each between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. That's some close racing on those big cars. 

I did it again, I ran more laps with my stock Fly in LeMans than I did with my Slot it 956 in GT. I may never figure that class out. However that is a smooth running Fly.

We could have done that Monte. I'm getting the hang of all the bits on the "dirty" side. It's the painted side that I struggle with.

Great finish. Evidently the #2 finisher is a 3 time champ. I bet he was surprised.

Congratulations Chris, there were a lot long Thursdays and evenings but they appeared to have paid off. And congratulations to all of the NASTE team members, you appear to have taken the event by storm. Next year the bullseye will be on you as the team to beat.

Now I don't know Doc. I do know that I came home and replaced the NSR with a Piranha. I during practice I found the NSR a little twitchy coming out of the corners, not a good thing in a proxy car.

We have one Chris. I don't remember the exact size.

Doc, how many teeth were on your old gear? I have a couple of 35s and a 31, but I don't have a 36. PCH parts express would probably have one if that's what you need. I understand that Parma is back in production after being shut down for a while, but it will probably take a while for new stock to get out into the world.

Thanks Al, that was some very good racing.

In GT3 accept for Rico who was in a race all by himself, 2 thru 4 were each a tenth apart.

I got my first ever win in Trans Am, again just by one tenth.

DOC, that Ford/Porsche proxy we talked about, the cars are due in Mass. by October 1st.
