According to my wife, the trick is to paint the car the color you want the stripes, then mask off the stripes, paint over the tape with the same color. After it dries paint it again the color you want. Later when you peel the masking off it won't have bled through. I've yet to try it myself, but the next one I do, I'm going to do it.

Nice looking car Chris

Sounds like a good time. I had to deliver my sister's car to Centralia Sunday morning. I tried  to make it but there was a fiery wreck on I-5 that put and end to that.

Thinking about the weekend racing, we get people who can't get to all of the races so they race infrequently, they may not own a car to fit into any given class. The IROC format is really the only chance they get to compete no matter how serious they are. As for track owners always supplying cars, I'm sure that between us regular racers we could come up with a permanent fleet of Ninco Jags, or Corvettes, or even Slot it Porsches. Some front motored cars might be fun for a change. In stock form these are all pretty well bullit proof. Just a thought.

At this point it looks like our downstairs will be vacant by the end of summer. I hope to renovate the family room and build a new three lane 68' track down there over the winter. That will give us another track to work into the rotation.

Looks fun, looks fast.

Every time I go there I want to dig out my HO stuff and set up another track. I might have to build a 4x8 track that can roll under the larger track. And thanks guys and Dorothy, the food was great.

Dan, Slot it axles and gears will fit your pioneer Camaro

Nice job guys.

Old Thread different year.
Thanks to Rico and his family for having us out for another race. I had a great time . Your new tape worked great, the cars power line was smooth and consistent all the way around the track.

Re: Fly tires, my 906 has 10mm tires, the newer Porsches and T70s have wider tires, the 250GTO has a tall tire on an odd size wheel. I don't know about the others.
