The more I look at this car the more intrigued I am to have one.  Anyone ever tried one of these.  I don't expect breath-taking performance, more just a cool car from the old days.

I've added it to my want list right next to the Garvic and the Classic Asp.

Now if you happen to have these sitting around and are willing to move them do let me know, thanks!

(Monte was just not himself tonight!)

Now that's hysterical!  Thanks Bill.

You did notice it didn't take Stan long to get in the flow at the Point.  You can see where he practices.

He's in Newburg and hopefully once he gets the track all put back together.

This past Saturday we had the pleasure of greeting some new racers.  One of them looks to be a force to be reckoned with.  His name is Stan Smith and he's recently moved to our area from California.  He sent me a couple of pictures of his track that he's currently putting back together after a rather grueling move - for a slot car track.  Take a look and see what you think.

Actually the off road track has been repaired.  The issue was the power terminal track.

A big thanks to all that came out to race last night, that was a great crowd! 

I'm sorry we had issues with the off road track and had to scrap it before we started but at least we were able to quickly remove it and proceed.  We had some new racers come out last night and it looks like the man from Newburg - Stan Smith - will be another force to be reckoned with.

I sett the off road track back up and were going to test it some more today.  I think I already have it solved but more testing will tell.

Dorothy!!!!!  What did she put in those treats?  Nutz...

Yes sirree, a big thanks to Howie for letting us invite ourselves over on rather short notice.  Not only that, he let someone else win.  Heck of a guy!

Hey, I had a great time and i was only there for a short time.  I can't imagine how much fun I'd have had if I'd stayed for the entire event.

Very reasons are good with us, we had a most enjoyable time.

Typical of their tracks, the scenery is spectacular.  The price is a bit steep but if either of you want to foot the bill for the track I'll be happy to cover shipping.  Maybe it tows!

Big thanks to Bill for hosting another great race at the TooBad Motorplex.  And a special congratulations to Flyin' Bryan.  Not for the win but for how quickly he identified the problematic controller so we didn't have to whine about it all night.  ;-)

Good food, good friends and the closest racing I've seen in some time.

Will there truly be No To-Mayo?

And a great time it was.  Let the record show that weather was excellent, we threw open the garage door and enjoyed the nice fall weather in t-shirts.
