Has any body checked the shore rating before and after a race. I wonder  if after a heat cycle they are not slightly harder shore. I know when I race on road sedan nitro that did did happen but also working with a lot more temp in the track vs what you see with a slot car

Never seen  Carrera  chassis that had to be straightened. They are pretty  robust  cars. Built more like tank than a car. But yes those pods are just spot welded on in spots

Yes in deeded there is something missing when your not racing with us  Bill. life can get busy at times. I would love to build a few 1/24 cars but  I believe that they would not get much run time with me working on Saturdays...

sounds like there was a good turn out for the class. I was slammed at work did not get home till 630..

So these is my thoughts on the Classic Sports Car Division.
Classic Sports Car Division 1  18k h&r motor 8mm rims and tires ,tires open  pod or non pod chassis, pod free for movement.
Classic Sports Car Division 2 /Class 15 - Sportscar Era Class - Pre-Ground Effect (PGE)  nsr 20k motor 10mm wheels and tires, tires open, open chassis. guys could buy any of the classic nsr cars and race right out of the box. the slot it cars would only need a motor swap
Vintage Sports Car. This is a spec motor class. Cars will be required to use the H&R 14k motor only. Class is limited to pre 1960 cars, replicating cars built and raced through 1959. Chassis construction must be rigid with no separate articulating pieces such as hinged side pans, motor pods, or suspension type front axle mounts. Motor "podded" chassis will NOT be allowed. Eligible car's rear wheel width and tire contact patch must be 7mm or less. Track width must be no wider than the car's body width, tire and wheel must be completely within the body wheel opening. No portion of the tire/wheel shall be visible when viewed from above. Bodies shall not be modified to increase front or rear track (no fender flares or widening of body).

Yes I have done it with plastic gears in the past were the normal  tooth paste  trick did not work. A world of caution  though to much heat and you have a warped chassis  or goo for gears.when doing the heat make sure that you have power going to the motor and gears are turning. Stop when that start to sound smother

I say no. only because we are in the middle of a points battle and it would not be right to change the rules. Zack has a very good classic one car that has a fixed pod in it. I have one Im working on so I do have a pony in the fight also, maybe we can change the rules for next year and exclude pods. but for now leave it as is....

I have no problem with guys running a podded chassis has long as it is fixed. it opens up many more cars that can be run in the class and helps those that do not have the skills in building a brass chassis.it also opens up the gearing choice with these 14k motors being able to run 18mm gears or going inline. the big thing is that if a podded motor is used is to confirm the chassis and pod have been clued making it a one piece and if not then laps removed  per heat (say two per heat Total of 6 for the race) or a dq is in order.

when we had our talk about rules 1965 was the cut off for class 1 and at that time it was thought that the 1st race for the gt40 was in 65,  with that said the  rules do say to 1964. so it legal to run then. would not be right to change rules in the middle of the points. unless there is 100% across the club that we say no...
