We had a great time too.  Congrats to Mitch on giving us an F1 Whoopin'.

Fish are fiends not food.  smile

So do I, I'll bring some examples.  Doc, what did you get for a car and controller?

Well, mostly.  You'll have to cover the expense of coming to get it.

Includes:

  • DELL GX270 Tower (if memory is correct) w/ XP installed on a smaller HDD with a second larger HDD included/installed and formatted only

  • DELL monitor

  • Logitech mouse

  • Keyboard - one of those ergonomic ones

I'll even transport it to wherever we'll be together next, just let me know.  This is after all my fifth computer here at the house.  Four should be enough.

I have an older DELL tower if anyone would like a PC for their slot car track.

Contact me if that's you.

Stan I believe our club price is $2 per pair for 1/32 tires.  Get with Bill and check to see if it's one we've already cast.

Yes, indeed.

Thoughts...  it sounds like some of these cars need quite a bit of work to be competitive.  smile

Mitch, yes, the sp15b is the one I got as well.  If you have Tony's # give him a call.  Sent straight from Hornby in WA.

I'm thinking it will go in one of the Alfa's.  Or a Lancia.

Dan, Can Am or C Class?

I've had that experience.  Trippy, dude!  All the way to the floor.

The service from the DS factory is Alan at 132slotcar.us.  He has parts.  They are after all a European mfg while the rest are US companies.  I've had mine quite a while and the only issue I have seen is once when the trigger got sticky and wouldn't return all the way.  Thought at the moment I had lost the brake circuit but no.  So I haven't lost a brake circuit yet but neither do I use mine much with vintage 1:24 cars with old-style motors.

However I have run Enduro's of 50 minute heats using Scale Auto and BRM 1:24's with no issue at all.

They are also the only controller I know of with adjustable trigger tension.

It's quite possible they are not really rated for those motors hence the problem with the brake circuits

I find them an excellent controller for 1:32.

And I will say this, it's the fastest off the line controller I have ever had and I usually take off first in just about every heat.  Always nice to be in the lead for at least a few feet.  smile

Wonderful.  Looking forward to it.  Does the track have a name?

And I'll remind you!

Thanks Bill, always a wonderful time.

I have a stack too, some way more powerful than slot car magnets.  Let me know if you still need more.

This sounds great.  Are we running the Slot.it Porsches?  What about controllers?  And where did your magnet work best on the Trans Am car?

Looks like a great one for the F1 Vintage class.  Or is it the Classic Class?  One of 'em.

Looks good Doc.  I've got a chip on the way from Scaley via my favorite pusherman.

Mitch, I think he's planning to open early so it may be possible to avoid the horrors of the drive-time carnage.  Maybe DocDoom will chime in here.

I stopped in to visit the good doctor last night.  Had a great time running cars and chatting.  It's a fun track though it does have a little learning curve - no pun intended.  Think I'll build up a car for racing there.  Slot.It Can Am - gonna use an Alfa.

The plan is for some of the Seattle guys to come down next Monday for a little racing.  Let's see if we can get a few of us over there too.

Tires:

Fly Porsche 906
Fly Ferrari 250LM

It's my only two stock Fly's...

This will all be surmised somewhere?  I need a new car.  May have to contact Tony about his new brand.

I'll be there!  Track looks great!

Are loaners available?  Do you have classes you race?  Tell us more.

I think the Sloters are lighter as well.  Ok, I'll leave them in the box.
