That's too bad Mitch but I do KNOW how you feel! I had a Radio Shack rheostat that Monte had given me and it didn't fit my Professor Motor or my DiFalco. Sometimes it's best to pay the piper as the old saying goes.

Thanks Bill for another wonderful night of Rock 'em Sock 'em slot car racing. It was certainly an entertaining night of racing with some rather spectacular crashes and some close intense on track battles. Also thanks to Chris for letting us abuse his BRM 917/512M cars.

What Bill said. Sorry we had to dash off but we had a timetable and were only a few minutes late.

Thank you Bill for hosting our Odd Thursday gatherings, I had a good time right up until the very end. I hope you all had a good time ribbing me for my misfortunes last time out, but I will let last night's performance speak for itself and in the words made famous by Rick Nueheisel "Score board, baby". CU all next time when we can take up our good natured bantering once again.

Re: NASTE 2016 - Race 1 (7 replies, posted in NASTE)
A BIG THANKS to Bryan and Sherry for the opening round. I enjoyed the racing and didn't even totally stink at piloting the HO's for once. The cars were pretty awesome Bryan, well except for the green 55, but it kind of had a mind of it's own for everyone. I'm not sure how many times Dominic told me he won a heat but was clearly stoked about doing so. CU all at the next race.

Goose, your welcome and I'd say anytime but I might be lying. Seriously, I'd lend you a car again in the future, just not a good one. Thanks Bill for another fun filled night of racing, crashing, eating and bench racing.

A former co-worker used to attend this race and always tried to get me to go but we were never able to make it work. He always told me it was a blast but be advised poorly executed efforts (build quality and race craft) resulted in injury to racers and spectators alike.

Re: Mitch: what are you building (53 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
While on vacation last week we stopped by the LeMay Museum on the way home. It has four levels of cars and has some very interesting exhibits. If you are in the area I highly recommend a visit. I only managed a few pics:
This A1 Grand Prix car bought back some memories for those who raced at Beaverton Slot Car Club
And of course the slot car track:
The track is very cool but I would not recommend spending the money to race on it as they have the voltage very low and I was flat out the entire track, not much fun.

Re: Look What I Found! (14 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
They were in a different class due to the big block, but they did win their race due to first place dropping out or finishing the race one lap too early by mistake, no one was really sure which.
