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).

Re: Gear mesh with heat (4 replies, posted in Modifications)
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

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,171 replies, posted in NASTE)
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....

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,171 replies, posted in NASTE)
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.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,171 replies, posted in NASTE)
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...

Re: Competative LMP cars (5 replies, posted in Cars)
the slot it Lola is the car to beat right now. the mosler is good also. the Audi R8 is one that looks like it might be a good car also but guys are running every thing on that short list I made. find one you like and start tuning...any nsr car is going to work right out of the box and be fast. so you might think about going that rout.

Re: Competative LMP cars (5 replies, posted in Cars)
Class 17 - Sportscar Era Class - LMP Era (LMP)
LMP Era (LMP) - Full fendered sportscars from 1994 through current which ran in FIA, IMSA, or SCCA sanctioned events. Any motors (22k limit), tires, driveline configuration, or chassis material may be used. Bodies must be injection molded or resin cast and not vacuum molded. Thunderslot brand RTR cars are NOT eligible for this class, but their driveline components (wheels, axles, gears, tires) and guide assembly may be used for tuning
so a short list would be
1. any of the nsr modern gt cars and the Mosler.

3.SCALEAUTO gt cars like the viper ect
4.Revo Slot has a nice selction also
