Thanks for another fun filled race from the Saager's.  I had a great time, despite my car troubles.   I cannot promise Police & Fire Department visits next Tuesday but the racing should be good.

Rico

Well, we didn't get a lot of racing in but I think we have a better plan for next time.

I just found out I have to work until 5:00 Tuesday so don't break your neck's trying to get there by 6:30.  I will do my best to be ready but may be running a little late.

I would agree that the Carrera cars can be bought cheap and that they are amoung the worst handling, least tunable slot cars.  I"ve heard some of the newer releases may be slightly better than some of the older ones.
I think a single make series, say Porsche 911 GT-1's or Ford GT-40's might be a fun experiment.  Ninco, Fly, Scalextric, Carrera and maybe somebody else make the Porsche's and Fly, Scalextric, Slot.it, MRRC and NSR all make GT-40's.  Another potential car would be 911 GT3's which are made by AutoArt, Ninco, ProSlot, SCX,Carrera, Scalextric, NSR and porbably a few others I'm not thinking of.  Fairly lax rules, maybe standard cans with a max RPM limit, urethane tires and see who can find a better mousetrap.

One other possibility is the Fly DP cars, lots of liveries and some slight variations in body styles coupled with being fairly cheap.

Didn't you hear?  That's really Exlax, NOT chocolate.....

Geez, I might have to start drinking more Kahlua if it means I'll win the race.  Thank you to all that came, ate, raced and ate some more.  It was our pleasure to be your hosts.

It was a great season and the final results were as close as the racing all season.

He has to be there for the coronation :-)

At least you're going all out,  getting anxious to give it a try.

Hey Bill what do we owe for gas?
