If I can make it and I hope to, I will bring some chicken and maybe some licorice for Bill.

I had every intention of racing and had my box in the car along with Bill's heater despite a stressful trip to Walla Walla for the funeral coupled with alternator failure on the way home, but Dominic had a relapse of the flu early Thursday morning.  I got the first shift while Kelly was at work and then had to work late to try and catch up.  After all that, I decided to take the evening off.

Thank you to all that came out and raced, I hope you all had as much fun racing as I did hosting/racing.  All thanks goes to Kelly for the food and as usual she went over the top.  As per usual the Hills created racing that was very close and there were a few shall we say spirited battles.  The Ninco Mercedes performed flawlessly, if not a little loose and the Fickle Fiats never seem to disappoint. Well except in Dorothy's case, it seemed to run fine after the race, go figure.  We call them fickle for good reason.

Thank you Howie host and to Chris for organizing this fun event, what a great day of racing.  We raced BRM Porsches but I think they are really made by Timex because they took a beating and kept on ticking.  I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Thanks again
Rico

I will have to miss it, it's Gabby's birthday so I will be having fun somewhere else.

What exactly are naste tires?  Bad, bad tires or the airplane tires from the 55's?

p.s. the cars are VERY cool!

Too late, it was manhandled all night!!

I had a blast getting picked on all night

Good point, but any good 15 x 7 aftermarket wheel will still fit the Slot.it axle.

I knew it was posted before but I could not find it with a search.  It should be somewhere where it is easily found.

John,

Glad to hear you are having fun and enjoying racing with us.  As far as help with angle winders, I'm not your guy as I have yet to figure them out myself.  Much of weight placement is common sense. The most important thing to get a figure out what is  causing the car to de-slot in the first place.  Is it tipping out of the slot, is the rear end sliding out or is the front washing out? Once you identify what the condition is and then you can figure out where to place the ballast.  Here is a chart that should be of some help:

I hope you find this helpful, I know I did.  Monte or Bill is there place we can post this to make it easy to find?
