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

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,166 replies, posted in NASTE)
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.

Re: NASTE Race No.5 Autumn Hills (16 replies, posted in NASTE)
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.
Regards
Rico

Re: On the Horizon (60 replies, posted in Too Bad Motorplex)
I've got that old Champion with the 36D and Arco magnets. It also has the Larry Cockerham weight plate and it still wheelies with the plate. If I take it out, my guess is that it would be largely drivable. If I read the rules right, I would need to remove it?

Re: BRM Race at Rapid Raceway this Saturday Nov.29 (10 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
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

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,166 replies, posted in NASTE)
Wow, what a fun night of racing last night! There were lots of really close battles, some really great bench racing, too many goodies to eat, a fun time was had by all. Thanks to Bill and Diane too. I would also like to thank Chris for letting me play with his awesome 1/24 toys, both the ScaleAuto 962 and the new BRM McLaren. The BRM is so good it makes the high dollar price tag seem worth it.

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

Re: axle bushing clearance (6 replies, posted in Modifications)
Good point, but any good 15 x 7 aftermarket wheel will still fit the Slot.it axle.

Re: axle bushing clearance (6 replies, posted in Modifications)
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.
