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.

Quit rubbin' it in would ya? Cuz we're all jealous.....

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

Here's some pics of the F1 cars we were talking about:

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

Question regarding the motors for the vintage F1 class.  I have a Scalextric Ferrari 375 with a front mounted FC-130 Mabuchi motor.  What BWA motor are you guys thinking?  I  believe the current stock motor is an 18K but it feels pretty wimpy.  It may or may not be easy to transter the drive shaft to a new motor without damaging it.  Thoughts???

I didn't take any pics of the underside.  You had two choices: Vintage Carrera Nascar or Vintage Revell-Monogram Stocker.  I originally was going to go with the Revell side winder but started adding up the costs for a chassis, wheels, gears etc to make a decent runner out of it and decided it was too expensive when I already had a Carrera chassis here.  I did buy a H&R Hawk motor to try out. They have similar specs to a NC-1.  Stock Carrera front wheels and tires that were trued up and I used a new brand of wheels and inserts on the rear.  Wheels are RS Slot and are only $6.29 a set.  Inserts are made by EZ Mag and are injected plastic.  The chassis is stock except for the parts I had to remove to fit under the Chevy body.

I bet you just might know someone with one to sell??

It varies but week day evenings are probably the best.

I did manage to snap a few photo's from the last two stages, unfortunately I forgot to take any during the first stage at Monte's.

Monte takes the high road while David was seen letting it all hang out and then some.

David was at it again this time holding up Monte's Group B Stratos.

David, Monte & John and it looks like it's John getting it sideways in the true rally tradition.

David's VW showing us it's bottom, now that's one Naste VW.

Monte and John dueling it out on the uphill swing.

and headed back downhill towards Petrolati Point.

Thomas, Victoria, Chrissy and Todd and half a**ed Tracy.

The boys hard at work?

John's Bug eating Jag at the infamous R1 at Autumn Hills.

Good times marshalling at the Hills.

Victoria putting her Fiat through the paces while David and Monte look on.

Thanks for a fun day Monte and Victoria.

I had a great time visiting and eating last night but the racing is something I'd rather forget, just not my night.  Thanks to our excellent hosts Terry and Dorothy and cograts to Bryan...again.
