Sorry to interrupt your normal schedule programing. With these urgent  race report update......We had 7 racers  battle the crappy portland traffic  and make there way to Al's  man cave to do battle. Up 1st was Trans Am and after Doc performed little magic  and  sprinkled Doug new car with some go fast dust. We were off racing. Doc was able hold off Doug for the win .Doug did have bragging rights for the fastest  lap of the night. But a few offs cost him the win. Up next was DTM and Doc green machine was firing on all 8 and was glued to the track for the 2nd win of the night with Al crossing in 2nd a few laps back. Followed by David in Doc's back up Dtm. Last race was open and pull out the broom  with Doc taking the last win of the night with Al coming in 2nd once again and Rico thrid.

Race report is that I forgot  that there was a race night. Totally  spaced it. Been a stress full couple of days at work and racing was not even in my thoughts.  I will be there in two weeks .

So I have some experience  with brushless  from my rc days. When they 1st came out there was lots of teething issue and the price tag was a big struggle  with racers. Slowly they worked out the issues and the price  came down were it was affordable  for racers. . Been following  the slot car side and there still some teething  issues still people are seeing problems with what controller  work with the system  and ones  that don't. I'm going to wait and see were it goes but if it anything  like they RC side it will be the way to go.

I know I’m a little late to the party but I too am curious about no independent front wheels. My better cars all have them. It costs almost nothing to convert cars with alloy wheels, so it can’t be cost.

Well nothing  written in stone . Rules can be updated or we can just  ignore  that if someone  shows up with a car set up that way.

The 1st summer race is in the books. Had 5 racers make it out to battle on Al's Rippen Riding raceway. Up 1st was  the sports car one class. Doc drew the 1st win. Of the night with a newly built 250lm with a interesting  gear set up that proved  to be the way to go  in 2nd was Mitch  with a very quick Chappell  and then Al in another 250lm. Up next was revo slot gt. And  Mitch backed up is 2nd place run in sports car with a win in revoslot. Al once again found himself rolling across in third with  Doc taken 2nd. Last race was open and  Doc finished of the night with the Win followed by Al and Then Rico.    Doug showed some good speed  and car control by winning  a few heats. Looked good leading and did not break under pressure.  .going be a contender  with a few more races has he comes to understanding  how to get around the track fast. See you all in two weeks.

I sure hope we keep  the even Thursday.  Maybe keep it to a couple  of tracks one on each side of the river. Knock the classes down to 4 or 5
That way the racers have cars ready and built. My suggestion. 1 womp 2 flex. 3 trans am 4 sports man. 5. Nascar. I do believe  most every body that were making out had a car that would work in each class. Yes some where faster  than others.  I'm working on that...

yeah, but we're not making a Sideways Class are we? We are including NSR, Scaleauto, 3D chassis for Scalextric, ect.  Otherwise we may as well leave the GT3 class just the way it is and start racing Sideways cars against themselves..

  sideways also  make  gt3 cars.     The Lamborghini BMW and the Ford gt I had at the track are all sideways brand cars

I object to the no independent front wheels. That is a basic tuning practice going back to the 60s.
Painting the front tires with glue or nail polish makes it sound like we're racing matchbox cars.
OEM anglewinder is odd as many of the listed cars come with inline & siderwinder pods.
As for motors most of the 23K seem to be low on torque allowing the Black Stripe and 21.5K motors to compete.
Monte our aim in discussion wasn't really about speed but rather better handleing,  increasing the "fun" factor. A Scalextric with a pod can run well with an NSR we've found.

all the sideways  gt3 cars are factory-installed  anglewinder pods

I have a comment/question.

1.  All these rules to make the car faster yet no independent front wheels?

What is the reasoning here?

2.  Which of the ScaleAuto cars have metal chassis if any?

Also, I added some bolding and white space to make the post a bit easier to digest.

Trying to keep metal chassis  out out of the class.  Ak revoslot thay have there own class We can change  the independent  rule if everything  is on board .
