It sure was good to see Gearloose back!

The race for me was fun, but my results were something much less than spectacular!

The PASER Open Track Monday's popularity seems to be healthy!

We had 7 racers on hand for the 6PM Womp race. We ran 2 rounds of 20 lap sprint races for the 6PM race. None of the racers broke out in this race either, with Doc getting the closest with a 5.571 second lap.

Here's the results:
1st Bill 26 points
2nd Doc 25
3rd Dave 24
4th Brian 21
5th Bart 18
6th Mark 17
7th Hersch 9

PASER WEENER Flexi Class: Dave!

As you can see from the results the competition on Mondays has become tight! The races are very close, as the cars and driver's skills continually improve! Thanks to all that made it out to race! I'm looking forward to the next Monday here on April 4th!

PASER open track Mondays resumed on March 21st at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway in Vancouver.

There were 8 racers on hand for the noon Womp race. We ran 3 rounds of 20 lap sprint races to determine an overall winner. Racers scored 1 - 4 points for their finish position in each sprint race. In the end it was Bob with a high score of 45 points to take the win. There were no minimum lap time "break-outs" in the race, although Bob came very close running a 5.504 second lap.

Here are the results of the noon Womp race:
1st Bob 45 points
2nd Bill 38
3rd Doc 35
4th - tie Brian 29
4th - tie Dave 29

Results from March 17th race:

Bob Nakamura and I made a trip over to Rob's track today. Rob has done an outstanding job of setting up this track he purchased from Jeff Courtney. This track was originally built by Larry Cockerham and Dave Smith. Today we connected the wiring to Rob's new power supply to get the track up and running. We also connected the wiring to the computer to check the race program operation. I can verify all is good, and Rob is moving forward towards the first race day! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7120n9Xy3U

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for here Doc.

I am not a proponent of major changes to an existing class due to newly released cars with superior performance. Those changes legislate older cars out of competition. There may be a time when someone wants to race just the older cars and you would end up with a need to rewrite the rules for something you already had. I think if new cars are released or introduced which don't fit into the existing rules, new classes should be made just for them with specific rules.

What it looks like to me is that you are proposing classes for the newer style F1 chassis with motor pods? It looks like two of them, Class 2 and Class 3, based on the years the cars were raced? As far as all the other existing classes, why change them if you're not planning to race them anyway?

The existing classes were used to not only divide the cars by slot car performance standards but also by types based on the years they were raced. There are MANY types of F1 slot cars made with varying degrees of performance. That's why there are so many classes for them (something I really hate about 1/32 model car racing! Which is a whole 'nother story!).
