Thanks to Bryan and Sherry for hosting on late notice and doing a superb job. I thought the timing system was fine especially for a first run with it. Despite my last place finish, I enjoyed myself immensely. I will try to arrive earlier in January so maybe I could a get a practice lap or two in.

Thanks again
Rico

Hey, it was only once and it was dark

Thanks everyone for a fun, fun, fun night.

Rico

One thing for sure, we didn't have any left.

Oh, they'll work but I'd guess it's just a question of how well.

I agree Bill on the effort.  Unless you are trying to keep the stock wheels, buy a Slot.it axle kit which will include a gear, axle, bushings & wheels and they all fit together and work very well.

I'll most likely stop at Winco and pick-up their chicken dinner special and of course a bag of RedVines.

I'll second that notion, I had a great time as well.  I hope the racing with the vintage F1's turns out the same as well.

Rico

Thanks guys, once the voting starts I could use some help

PS There's also this one on SCI:

Looks like you all had lots of fun but it was absolutely beautiful at the coast all weekend.  Out on the beach with a bon fire wearing shorts and a windbreaker last night at 11:30. The rental house was great and best of all: no break downs on the way home.

Rico

I'll second that motion as it applies to me as well!

Thanks Bill for another fun night o' racing.

Naste Odd Thursday August 7

A rather small group of 7 racers showed up tonight at Autumn Hills but boy did we have some fun close racing.  We had plenty of food and snacks thanks to Kelly. The wraps were sensational.  We raced two classes and first up was the Classic Sports cars.
The racing was close with former track owner bringing up Maggie's drawers with his decidedly grip less tires on the Chaparral.
The Ninco Vette's of Goose Gossett and Chris Kouba tied for second place but nobody could catch Rico's scratch built Ferrari on it's home track.

Next up was the Naste Trans Am's.  We ran all the cars together but we did have two 2 liter cars that did battle with the big Detroit iron.  In a battle of the Alfa's: the schoolboy's GOM GTV bested Greg's GTA.  Victoria pushed her SCX 'Cuda to 6th while the always fast Goose could only manage fourth.  Mr. Tie aka Chris Kouba once again tied but this time with Glenn Heath in their well matched former BSCC Mustangs for second place. In the end, home track advantage once again prevailed with Rico winning with a Scaley Camaro.
