Are we just running the Porsche 956/962's or are other bodies legal too?

Thanks Bill for another fun night of racing, I really enjoyed myself. Also, thank you to those who brought snacks, much appreciated.

Rico

A very fun evening indeed! Lots of good close racing, laughs and crashes.  Another Naste grand slam.  Thanks to Dave for the cars, Bill for the controllers and Carl for the track.

Thanks for all the pics Bill, any way to talk you into sending me copies of the pics of the Possum van?

He simply will be elsewhere, thankfully.  Speaking of thanks, thank you to everyone that came over and raced last night.  I hope you all had a good time, I know I did.

Is that a 1/24 Carrera body?

I think this should work well but I propose a higher RPM motor for the later cars, say 18K.  These cars were faster in 1:1 and should reamin so in 1/32.  I have cars for both classes so I'm ready to go.  However, I may not be able to make it on Thursday due to soccer practice duty. I will try to work something out, practice is from 6-7. I could just be fashionably late.....

Sounds like I missed a great time, but unfortunately I had a plumbing nightmare that had to be addressed.

They did it while the parents were on vacation and they were home alone, thank God it wasn't a serious blow.  I am quite certain it didn't knock any sense into him.  We later found out they were driving it around Beaverton and the forward gears in the trans went out so they tried to drive it home in reverse all the way to 198th in Aloha.  Real Einsteins....

I left out the craziest part, the axe head was loose and flew off nailing one of them in the head.

All you need is a hacksaw and an axe to take the roof off. Kelly's little brothers did it to an Electra 225 back in the 80's.

Maybe you should've kept that Thunderbird after all. It is a (F)or (O)ld (R)etired (D)udes or pick your own favorite FORD acronym.

Thank you Saagers' for an action packed afternoon of racing and eating.  I enjoyed my "watermelon" too Dorothy.

Rico

Thanks for hosting last night Bill and thanks to Diane for the brownies et all.  I think I had a sugar hang over this morning.

I have a question regarding my newly earned handicap.  Is it only if I use that car or is it any car?

I guess they do both have the brass chassis, I didn't think the white one did.

I managed to get the motor swapped for a BWA NC-1 without too much trouble.  I will bring it to Bill's on Thursday.
