The more I think about this the more I come to the conclusion that two classes will be the best choice.

The first class will be for pre-64 cars using spec BWA motors and tires no wider than a typical Ninco Classic.  The second class will be for more modern F1 cars like the Scaley legends set and probably some Fly cars and a few others.  I'm probably going to start this as a secondary class on First Sundays.  I should soon have enough Cartrix to field a complete race.  Swapping them to the BWA motor.  I'll keep you posted on progress.  The test case is going to Bill's Thursday night, come give it a try if you like.

And to get in the spirit...

And thank to Bill for hosting a great event.  As stated we ate until we could eat no more and then didn't let that stop us.

Ya know, if we built 10 cars in a production line fashion...  I can adjust the body screws!

And that's a nice set of Scaley F1's you'll be getting too!

So yesterday in anticipation of our next big race in little more than a week's time daughter Jessica came over and helped me install a series of 4 jumpers on the digital track.  It was quite the effort considering the heat in the garage was well over 100.  The end result is that power around the track has been significantly improved and smoothed.

But wait, there's more!

You may or may not have heard that my rally buddy from Seattle Mike Daily and I have been working on some digital products.  The first one just about due for release will be in display at the race.  In use actually.  Our new controller for the SCX Digital System - the RamJet-X!  I believe you will find it quite the improvement over the standard units we have used in the past.  I'll be most excited to hear your feedback.

Now if I can just figure out what to do with the 50 new trees Victoria has constructed...

We look forward to seeing you all at our Ribs'n'Racin' Spectacular just about 10 days away.

I enjoyed the trucks.  They, like me, were strange and slow.  An excellent opening night for Hammerland.  Great food and the program moved right along.  Great job Dorothy and Terry.

I would be more amazed if you could remember all that was there.  Although finding the tires for that weird little car I had was rather impressive.
