Thank you to everyone who raced this evening in the impromptu Race #5 at the Hills.  I hope you all had as much fun as I did hosting and if anyone left hungary, it was your own damn fault because there was plenty of food and I guess I know what's for lunch and dinner tomorrow if you know what I mean.  I hope no one was too put off by the "flat" tires on the fickle Fiats of fate, I guess you can't duplicate racing conditions while running alone.  I never had a problem in many a lap, probably several hundred.  The SCX Club racers performed flawlessly and certainly needed a good work out and it was a nice diversion to do some night racing.  See you all next time.

Thanks again
Rico

It was a super rowdy bunch that ventured forth today for NC-5 running at the Point.  Thanks once again to Monte and Victoria for hosting another entertaining event and for some very good chicken noodle soup.  I had fun and still had time for over half of the other Super event for the day. 
Thanks again

Thank you Randy and Myrna for putting on the Enduro this afternoon, I had a great time racing and enjoying everyone's company.  I ate so much, I had no need for dinner.  This looks like it's going to be a very fun, competitive class and I like the new lay out.

Thanks again
Rico

Somewhere there has to be a track that can host.  I could probably arrange to do two races at the Hills, that way I could enjoy the home Courtney advantage too :-)

Thanks to Jeff, Jake and Cathy for another fun filled Naste race with the jaunting jalopies.  The hot dogs were top notch and the Hammer's goodies are always welcome.  I'm pretty sure that was my best finish at Hemi Heights and you all are slipping or I'm getting used to the difficult, er challenging Naste Flyers.

Rico

That soup was excellent, I had 2.5 bowls and won't have many friends tomorrow. Thanks guys.

Rico

Thanks for the update Monte.  I braced my car tonight and to my eye it did help the handling and the lap times improved some too.  I think I'm ready for Sunday.

Hey Bill is that chassis with the pod a Ford GT or the Lambo?

Nice

First I've seen of them.  Cool, too bad they are not legal.

Which Ninco's have pods?  No LMP cars?

A big 'ol Naste thank you Randy and Myrna for hosting Round 3 last night.  What a great time and some super close racing with I'm sure a tie or two.  The cars were challenging as was trying not to eat too much.

Thanks again

Now this is interestingly good news....

Monte and Victoria, Thank you for another fun filled Sunday afternoon.  Congratulations to George on the victory and to Mr. Bill on his second place.  I'll take my third place, my cheater car and the overall points lead and be back next time.

Did you go to Slotcar Illustrated? If not, try here: http://www.slotcarillustrated.com/porta … hp?t=44831
Most people don't run a RTR, but a good choice to start with would be Ninco Classics like the Porsche 356, Jag XK-120 or Ferrari Testarossa.
I hope this helps.

I would agree with Monte, the IPS would be a good start since this years is on the last round and a new one should get going after New Years.  I did stumble across a new one getting started yesterday for Slot.it cars.  It would be open cockpit, short wheelbase cars: Ferrari 312PB, Alfa 33/3, and Chaparral 2E.  Here's a link for more info: http://www.slotcarillustrated.com/porta … ost449423.

Actually the next Naste race is Nov 20 at Monte's, unfortunately I will be at a wedding and will miss it. You might find it easier to make one of his first Sunday events.  They start at 1:00 and end around 4:00 leaving you more time for travelling before and after.

Sorry I had to miss it.  At least the evening wasn't a total waste, I got to watch the Oregon-USC game.

Regrettably I am going to have to miss the race this year as family obligations I cannot escape from have come up.   Please feel free to have fun without me as I will be stuck with my brother-in-law, possibly the world's biggest tool.

Regrets

What a hoot, thanks Jeff for another fine evening of entertainment.  Now, what to create for Halloween, definitely something faster than the Batmobile.  Hmmm, I do have that NSR 40K motor taking up space....
