Re: NASTE Race No.13 (6 replies, posted in NASTE)
Thank you Saager's for a pleasant evening of racing. Dominic and I had a good time racing, eating and visiting. I have to say I really enjoy this digital layout much better than the old one unless you're running the M M Mel T T Tillis Porsche. The controllers worked awesome and other than the previously mentioned Tillis car the system works great and is way more user friendly.
Thanks again
Rico

Thanks Bill for another entertaining evening of racing, it's always a good time at Too Bad Motorplex. I think I may have a junk food hangover or I'm just tired from getting home so late. What I thought was going to be an improvement in the Trans Am class, clearly wasn't, so I guess it's back to the drawing board. I still giggle inside at how well that beat up, second hand BRM runs, just amazing. Although the Omron car shows great promise after just a few laps getting into the 8.3's.

I wasn't trying to change how we race the cars, I was just wondering if cars other than Cartrix or Scalextric were allowed to run. If a class is called Scalextric Modern or Cartrix Classic that leads me to believe that those brands are the only ones allowed but if other brands compatible cars are allowed then so be it.

Question: Are we going to limit the Vintage F1 to Scalextric only? This car is just now becoming available and would fit very nicely with the Scalextric Modern class
You can read more about it here: http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.p … ntry966321
I'm not sure how well the performances will match but the chassis is basically the same as the previous Fly March 761 which were supposed to be quite quick. In fact the March's would fit the class quite nicely as well.
Thoughts?

Lastly I got a text from my daughter who's staying at our house for us while we're gone. She was wondering why there were slot car tires in the fridge!
So you do eat those things, I wondered. I guess after a few licks they start tasting pretty good.
After he figured out he shouldn't race with the dried out tires from your track, he's trying to keep his tires fresh.

In regards to the practice session, I thought the timed practice session worked well. Any comments?
Also, the turn out for the Sunday race was excellent! Anyone feel like maybe we should switch to Sunday races instead of Saturdays?
We used to run timed practices at BSCC and they worked well and we just formed a line while waiting for a turn.
Sundays would be a mixed bag for me, much like Saturday events.

Eeewwwww!
Dom and I had fun yesterday although he was a little disappointed at finishing last but he really liked the track. I will relish my third place in what was an extremely close race.

Re: Current Status (137 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
Sounds like you guys had a good time. When you going to start bringing kids to Thursday night racing? Although i assume they are busy with school sports.
AJ was just home for the weekend and is back in Eugene. I usually head to Bill's from work to save on commute time so it's doubtful that I will be bringing Dominic on Thursdays but he is enjoying the Naste Saturday races.
Don't remember you having track problems.
It wasn't really a problem, but I had raised the bridge up a 1/4" for clearance reasons a while back and had done a quickie job on the corresponding track support and track aprons weren't properly supported and kept coming off during crashes. Hopefully I have a better solution this time.

Re: Current Status (137 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
I unburied the track today, cleaned and dusted the surface and did some paint touch up. Next I made some better spacers for under the corner leading up to the first bridge. The new spacers had to be tested so AJ, Dominic and I ran 300 laps or so. AJ and I had a Reprotec Fiat duel for the ages. I may still do a little more tweaking but I'm happy with results for the most part.

Thanks Bill for another terrific Thursday night race, I had a great time racing, B.S.ing and eating junk. Looks like I may have to do some upgrades as well on my T/A cars.

I found this on EBay and it's a very fair price for a very good Difalco controller if anyone is interested:

Re: Cartoons (4 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
If you're like me you have lots of spare slot car tires laying around whether they be new, used or waiting for Bill to try. They seem to clutter up my work bench and it's tough to keep track of what exactly they are and what car they are for. I ran across these this morning at Dollar Tree and thought they may help keep things more organized.
So far, so good and as Bob Barker would say "The price is right"
