WOW ! Where is the love for F1s ? I guess they wouldn't make good cars for beginners although the Scaley F1s with magnets do drive pretty good right out of the box.

I like the idea Tom. It works for me but I would want to keep the format as is for the other races. The problem there is one more race on the schedule and some guys often leave after the first two races. It's worth discussion.

Thanks, Guys I'm home now ! Things went well. I had to get a Pacemaker which required a second surgery and will take a little longer to recover but I'll be back racing soon.

Not to worry Doc, it was a typo. There is a race on 11/7/19 GT-3 and LeMans* . 11/17/19 is a Sunday ! Sorry for the confusion.    Al

No magnets for you Mitch ! On 9/19/19 we will run CanAm and LMP. The Point Series Championship races will start on 10/3/19. There will not be a race on 10/17/19.  I'm planning on racing on 10/31/19 Halloween night unless some of you object. Thoughts ?

It's a free phone . My buddy got a new one because the camera was screwed up on this one. It will do for now. Thanks to Zack for organizing the race and driving us to Tacoma for a fun day! Congrats Stan!

I must have missed the conversation about the Division II revision. Whatever the majority goes with goes but for the record I think it's a mistake.

I'm liking what Bill said about the Classic I and II classes limit classic I to smaller narrow non podded cars and let the Classic II roll !! I would also be for keeping CanAm and LeMans classes in for 2020 Point Series and voting for two more.

My track is a little over 65 feet long. I put in four power taps just under 15 feet apart. I was running cars on it with just one when I first put it together before I got the wiring completed just to try it.Like Mitch  said it didn't make a noticeable difference with most of the 1/32 cars but some of my Over 50 cars would hardy move at the places farthest from the power tap. Like Bill , I thought too many is better than not enough.

Like Mitch I drew a few plans.I chose this one because it has the same number of left and right turns with very close to the same average radiuses. All lanes are close to the same length but drive differently. I could not do that without an overpass and I could get more length in the space with the overpass. Blind spots are a problem but if they're not too long it doesn't take long to learn how to compensate for them. Too Bad and Rapid Raceway both have,had overpasses with blind spots and are awesome tracks. I have the tools I used,mostly homemade and you are welcome to borrow them. Depending on the time of year ( winter early spring) I have time to lend a hand. I hope Bill finds his taping tool, it save much time and frustration if you go with copper tape.
