only 3 more to go

U bet it was fun. FYI
BAD BILLY  favorite  saying is rubbing is racing. Good thing the paint is on the inside of the bodies  or Bill wouldn't  have  any paint on the side panels  leftover.

Well, it looks like we maybe have turned the corner and racers are slowly making it back out to the track.  We had our best turn out for some time with 8 racers with one being new to the Track Brian. He been out to a few 1/24 race so, but these was 1st try at Al's. We threw him to the loin den with the not so easy to drive Policar Classic f1 cars. He struggled at 1st but slowly got the hang of the car.  It was a very close race from 2nd down with only tenths separating the finishing order Doc took the win with a big lead over 2nd. I don't recall the order will have to wait for the results.  Up next was group c and it was a wild race. There were some closely match cars, and it was anybody race to win if you stayed clean and in the slot. well, it is racing and there was lots contact with cars being put off and knocked around. Al looked like he was going to have a good point night till it all fell apart in the last 30 seconds of the race when is car came to a stop on the main straight with a lead wire coming off. The race was paused, and it was able to get back into the fight, but the damage was done, and he tumbled down the standing and ended up in 6th place with Doc taking the win it not looking too good for Al.  With only 4 more points races to go. But it is racing, and Doc could have the biggest choke in racing history so. Don't throw in the towel yet Al... see you all in two weeks.

Im a go just to see if smooth   can remember  How  to hook up a controller..

Make it a Wednesday  night at either Al  or Mitch and I could make it. Mitch would be the best for most. More central  location wise that is. But there call.......

no go 4 me working hours 7 till 3ish have fun all

Only if there a case of oil and bag of tools in the trunk

Another  great night of racing was to had at Al's  man cave. We had 7 racers show to battle. Up 1st was sports car one and the zerex special was the class of the field and took the win. I'm retiring  the car from the class just to dominating with the current set up. AL  was 4 laps back in another scratch built car and Rico in third with a rental.  Next on the docket  was revo slot and there was a little rubbing and elbows out. There was more than one forced off by drivers trying to get that little extra in the corner. No blood was spilled so all was good in the end. Doc was able to squeeze  out the win over a hard charging Al with Greg taking 3rd.  Last race was open and  1st heat and it was clear Rico was out to to take no prisoners  with a really fast run in red.  One force off in white and a less than  steller  marshing job by no other than me cost Rico and in the end Al took the top spot with Rico just 2 tenth behind and Doc in 3rd.  One note is to make sure that all cars running are on rubber or urethane.  Had one car racing that had silicon  installed and following drivers did struggle  for grip..lesson  learned...

After taking a good look they are nsr Evo on the back.the gt does have factory rubber on all 4 corners

No up grades needed with the sideways  cars. That BMW and  Ford gt  are bone stock. Just glue and trued tires and little weight.

Anybody  wish to comment  yes or no???
