I know I’m a little late to the party but I too am curious about no independent front wheels. My better cars all have them. It costs almost nothing to convert cars with alloy wheels, so it can’t be cost.
Well nothing written in stone . Rules can be updated or we can just ignore that if someone shows up with a car set up that way.
Happy 4th all
Bill when u get a chance up date rules to include new gt3 class and replace in place of the current gt3 class. Thanks.
Are you adding master wood craftsman to your credentials?
That looks great! Even has the sticker.
Good thing he doesn't work in a union run bait shop. Be a master in that tade is not good.
The 1st summer race is in the books. Had 5 racers make it out to battle on Al's Rippen Riding raceway. Up 1st was the sports car one class. Doc drew the 1st win. Of the night with a newly built 250lm with a interesting gear set up that proved to be the way to go in 2nd was Mitch with a very quick Chappell and then Al in another 250lm. Up next was revo slot gt. And Mitch backed up is 2nd place run in sports car with a win in revoslot. Al once again found himself rolling across in third with Doc taken 2nd. Last race was open and Doc finished of the night with the Win followed by Al and Then Rico. Doug showed some good speed and car control by winning a few heats. Looked good leading and did not break under pressure. .going be a contender with a few more races has he comes to understanding how to get around the track fast. See you all in two weeks.
Summer racing, some are not.
Have fun ya'll!
not coming ? Can't take the heat? AL has ac in the man cave..
SUMMER racing is in the house. Let see who brings the heat..
I sure hope we keep the even Thursday. Maybe keep it to a couple of tracks one on each side of the river. Knock the classes down to 4 or 5
That way the racers have cars ready and built. My suggestion. 1 womp 2 flex. 3 trans am 4 sports man. 5. Nascar. I do believe most every body that were making out had a car that would work in each class. Yes some where faster than others. I'm working on that...
yeah, but we're not making a Sideways Class are we? We are including NSR, Scaleauto, 3D chassis for Scalextric, ect. Otherwise we may as well leave the GT3 class just the way it is and start racing Sideways cars against themselves..
sideways also make gt3 cars. The Lamborghini BMW and the Ford gt I had at the track are all sideways brand cars
I object to the no independent front wheels. That is a basic tuning practice going back to the 60s.
Painting the front tires with glue or nail polish makes it sound like we're racing matchbox cars.
OEM anglewinder is odd as many of the listed cars come with inline & siderwinder pods.
As for motors most of the 23K seem to be low on torque allowing the Black Stripe and 21.5K motors to compete.
Monte our aim in discussion wasn't really about speed but rather better handleing, increasing the "fun" factor. A Scalextric with a pod can run well with an NSR we've found.
all the sideways gt3 cars are factory-installed anglewinder pods
I have a comment/question.
1. All these rules to make the car faster yet no independent front wheels?
What is the reasoning here?
2. Which of the ScaleAuto cars have metal chassis if any?
Also, I added some bolding and white space to make the post a bit easier to digest.
Trying to keep metal chassis out out of the class. Ak revoslot thay have there own class We can change the independent rule if everything is on board .
Anybody opposed
not yet waiting on feedback from the rest of the racers. if they have no objections then yes
The new gt3 rule package. these is what the NorCal group is running with some tweaks to fit out club

Congratulations to Daniel (Doc) Fritz, the 2024 NASTE Point Series Champion!
Thanks Al had alot of bad luck these go around. He is gunning to take the top spot back. Or will someone else take the crown ?
Last race points race night has come and gone. Light turn out with only five racers make the drive out to Al's to do battle. Up 1st was slot it classic and Al and Doc put on a show racing side by side through the corners with laying a fender on either car. Doc was finally able to pull a slight lead out at the 230 mark and Al got greaddy and tryed to make it up in the next corner and push little to hard and came out. Doc ended up taking the win followed by Al and then Gregg. Up next was group c and again it was another repeat of the classic race with both Doc and Al swapping the lead back and fourth. Till Al took every body out with the clock winding down. In the crash Doc lost his front body post screw and had to take it easy but had built up a cushion In the 1st two heat to take the win with Al second and G third. Up next was open and Doc put a big explanation mark for the night with a new track record and a sweep for the night racing. Al was in secound and Gregg took 3rd
We are in the dog days of summer new schedule should be out soon
Race results:
O boy looks like fast track. Going to be fun
I stand corrected the slot it gt3 cars have 23k motors from the factory so we would go 23k motor limit.
Why only 20k motors?
Well the new slot it gt3 cars come with a 20k the sideways are 17k the nsr sidewinder are also 20k motors. Not sure what the scalauto are. But we can definitely discuss motor limit. I just threw that out to keep it simple and make the cars some what even.
Whata do you all want to run next point season????? Maybe another new class. Been some discussion on a gt3 class with podded chassis and 20k motor limit. Sound off raceres
One more point race to go. Time to discuss what we want to run for next year...
Was Pinocchio a real boy?
No but he was Very popular with girls. Never disappointed them...
Well we had a light turn out. The sun made it tough to be down in a basement but race we did. UP 1st was lmp and a new track record was set with Doc 87.5 smashing the old record by a lap!!! AL came a cross the line in 2nd followed by Greg in third. NEXT was group c and these was another Win for Doc, Al had another guild wire break and it cost him a good finish. In the end it was Doc on the top step followed by Rico and then Gregg Al was 4th and then Mitch. Last race was open and Al was out to salvage his night of racing. And he did by getting to the top with a hard earned win over Doc followed by Rico.in third. Only two more point races and then we are into the summer program..see you all in two werks
Ouch, and double ouch! Stay safe out there Stan!
Yea get well put a bag of ice on it and drink a bottle of wine to ease the pain. See you next time out.
