I have the Gulf Porsche 962. Are we racing these stock? Mag, or magless?

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.

Re: NASTE 2017 - New Era (42 replies, posted in NASTE)
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.

It might be the way I drive, or the way I build, but you'll notice, I always bring two of whatever we are racing.

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.

I like the falcon motors, our DS and PM controllers can run them all day long without getting hot. I have a couple of super 16Ds that I cannot complete a 3 minute heat at Howie's without the power fading.

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.

You can get the axle and gear, you can look at CB design wheels and see if there is something you like, I have used several patterns and the quality has always been excellent, or you can do has Bill has, he used plain insert style wheels and ground down the stock wheels and made inserts out of them, they looked great and original.

Re: Urethane Tires (42 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
Bill & Monte,
Took some of your tires home and put them on a few cars. They are wonderful, great job. My only regret is that I didn't get more while I was there. I just installed them with out any sanding and they are wonderfully round and smooth, the compound you used has excellent grip on my old Strombecker track. I'll try them on Al's track on Thursday, speaking of Thursday, bring them with you and I'll get some for my Slot it GT cars.

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.

Just a thought about the Ninco, most of the Ninco cars are can driven motors and the black stripe motor is bell end driven. Just an observation. Some companies make motors that can run either way, Scalextric is not one of them.

Re: Odd Thursday Night - New Class Discussion March 2016 (121 replies, posted in NASTE)
I had my Porsche 906, Goose had a Fly 250LM out and Al took a few laps with his Scaley GT40, Oh and Greg had a couple of Fly GT40s out there. That looks to be the popular car. I think Dan was trying out a 917 but I'm not sure. we were starting to get a pretty good crowd by then. My 906 ran great. I put the newer axles and BRM wheels back on my Fly 250LM, so it's not technically eligible at this point, but it sure is more fun at home. My stock wheels are rather wobbly at this point.
I'll try to remember to bring mine to Bill's this week.

I brought a couple of Revell/Monogram cars ( an E Type & Porsche 550) that I had set up just like the Fly cars, but they performed poorly.

I hadn't thought of the Sebring chassis, I don't have any of those by Monogram. I have an E type Jag, Mustang, and Porsche 550 that are all front motored FC 130 motors. As for the Sebring chassis, the only motor that fits that is below 20k is the BWA which is way to slow for this class.
