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.

The girl is getting tougher all the time.  We may need a new moniker.

I was happy to begin with.  But I may now be happier.  I'll give it some thought.

Thanks for having us over, I had a good time though I may need to work on bringing faster cars.  And how can a scratch-built car be made from a manufactured chassis?  LOL

We may need one more category of construct-ability.

It was a small but well-behaved crowd that came out for Tuesday Night.  Here now the results:

Classic Sports Car Class:
1.  Monte Saager - 54 laps
2.  Greg Petrolati - 52 laps
3.  Victoria Saager - 48 laps


GT Class:
1.  Monte Saager - 58 laps
2.  Greg Petrolati - 55 laps
3.  Victoria Saager - 50 laps

A most pleasant evening was had by all.  We'll look forward to seeing you next time at Rico's.  I think.

Howdy all.  We're announcing some changes that will take place at the next First Sunday which will be in October.  So here we go:

NINCO GT
The first race will be the Ninco GT's as current but with ANY Ninco motor allowed. 
The reason for switching the Ninco class is that it's becoming much easier to get a new Ninco GT car that has a motor other than an NC-5.  It seems silly to restrict cars on that basis.  Run what you bring as long as it's a Ninco.

IROC
The second race will be IROC with different cars each time.  We'll try to pick some cars that are fun to run so it will be more of a drivers set.  This will give some the chance to try some types of cars they might not otherwise.   

About every three or four months we'll instead run a 2-hour digital enduro.  Now that the Digital track is pretty well finished it will be good to get some more use out of it.

We'll look forward to seeing you in October!

An excellent time was had by all.  A special thanks to Victoria for tons of help.

Yes, that was a fun way to approach a class.  I'll see if I can't pry that magnet out prior to the next race.  ;-)

The Ninco Jaguar XK120 is a good car too as we saw in the proxies.

I'll bring a bunch of cars for both classes if anyone wants to show up that doesn't have a car(s).

However, most any GT car will work for the GT class and if you have a Ninco Classic, it will be perfect for the Classics class.

We'll see you there.
