Thanks Bill.  It was great to relive my childhood.  I may actually have to give some thought to tuning a 1:24 car.  Well, in other words, something other than just taking it from the box to the track.  Maybe...  I'm ok with a "B" game as long as I get to play.  Next time, the GarVic double bubble Firebird.  Or perhaps the Ocelot with the double pinion!  Maybe it's time to tune a Black Widow.  Choices, choices, choices.  We need a parts source.

I've got Goose covered on the Chap body.  Happen to have one sitting around.

Bill how many hundreds of these vintage chassis do you have?

And why shouldn't we be using vintage controllers?  It seems a little silly to be using a controller that costs more than 10x the cost of the car when new.

Chris, I know you have paint.

Is that the GarVic chassis?

Great stuff John.  I wish I still had my cars from the 60's but gone for a long time now.

Yes indeed, Merry Christmas all.  May the new year find us all happy and healthy.

Old School should allow most any body type from the ones Bill shows to Manta Rays and all the weird Gar-Vic bodies.  They're lexan, it shouldn't matter.  Land of the Thingies!

My Gar-Vics will come alive!  What a great idea!

Dash T-Jets  whatever those are, were great fun, liked those a lot.  Seemed to have a few difficulties with the others, especially when there was a major pileup in my last heat and I got tossed off in the shuffle to grab cars, lost a lap or two waiting to get put on, decided it best to grab my own car in the turmoil, set it down where I could only to get it tossed back into the pile while being called a cheater.  ;-)

I didn't mind since we were there for the fun.  And what fun Victoria had!  Second in her class only to "no doubting" Thomas.  Probably Victoria's best result in a long, long time and with HO cars no less.

Had a great time.  Looking forward to the next one.

The Cheater

Always a good time racing with the group.  Victoria said she had a wonderful time at the Upwords board as well.

Thanks Bryan and Sherry.
