More or less than you sold it for?

There we go mucking up the dates again

After the race last night Randy and I tried running my Fly Classics as set up for Monte's track.  Here is what we found:
Chevron B19 with Slot.it orange end bell motor, revised gearing and the hand out urethane tires:  7.8-7.9 sec laps.  The car handled very well and  was nicely controllable.  It did have some hop down the long straights most likely due to the aforementioned Fly wheels or my poor glue job.  This hop is not noticeable on my track or Monte's track.

Next up was the Ferrari 512S, stock motor and gears, stock wheels with some Paul Gage urethane tires (Very similiar in compound to the free hand outs).  Once again the car was easy to drive and hand very controllable slides.  It ran 8.6-8.8 second laps and would be fun to run.

Lastly we tried the same car with IndyGrips.  It was still easy to drive but had that kind of greasy silicone feel that we are all used to from the current class we are running, but lap times dropped to the 8.2-8.3 range. 

Any of these combinations would work, we just have to decide what we want to do.

As always a wonderful time was had by all, way more than enough food and drink, just another day and the Pen.

You won't get very far on a siezed oil pump but the beer is do able.

Hey Everybody- I just found out we have parent teacher conferences next Thursday evening.  Can we shove it back a week?

I think we need to do one at my place and see if we can get the track power relay working.

Do you now have room for that track you've been threatening us with?

But we like you anyway

Happy is relative

I THOUGHT this was a slot car forum....not the bleeping weather channel.
