After some first heat difficulties where the temperature was sweltering, things smoothed out pretty well.  No cars were lost and I think we found all the bad parts!

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.

Look!  We're making progress.

Saturday morning and the last of the plaster has been poured.  Good thing, I am so tired of plaster...

I'll be bringing a stack of GT cars and anything else that strikes my fancy but will probably only have time to go straight there.

Penguin Point will be glad to enter the schedule as well.  We're even happy with a GT class as described.

I like the added advantage of a magnet, I think it could really help the newer folks.  Everybody should get to win a time or two.

Tuesday seems to work well for many of us already.

Maybe Tony could give us some info on the rest of that.  I have no idea myself.  But it sounds like fun to me.

A big salute to all our hosts!  Rico, Kelly and AJ, Bill and Diane, Drew, and Victoria. 

Breakfast at Rico's was great.  All the bacon I could want and more.   The Brownies at Bill's almost made up for those tension-filled laps around his track.  I never felt so slow while hearing how fast I was going.  Drew's basement was a welcome relief from the afternoon heat but the track was the real treat.  We've got some great video from there.  Victoria did a great job out here of keeping the pizza rolling.  I don't know which was more competitive, the rally or the pizza!

I thought all the tracks were fun, especially the two that were new to me.  Drew's with it's narrow roadway and bumps, and Bill's which was just tight and treacherous.  And it was pretty cool seeing rally cars catch air on the bridges.

But as always, it's not so much what you're doing but who you're doing it with.

That was the best part.

Next season winner?  I think you should go retro-active on those.  And thanks to Dorothy for providing us so much in the way of pictures and video from this past season.  We had a great time.

Yes, so did we.  Thanks for hosting Larry. 

As for myself, it was probably the first time I've won a 1:24 scale race since before I had a drivers license.  Victoria's comment: "I felt like i did pretty good".

More useful information:

The final stage which will be conducted at the Penguin Point Rally track will involve SCX standard track which means a shorter guide blade will be desired since the old-style slots aren't as deep as the newer style.  Competitors will be allowed to substitute a different guide blade or trim the existing one if clearance is an issue. 

This will be the ONLY adjustment contestants will be allowed during the event other than repair situations arising from on course issues. 

In the case of on course issues involving a contestants car (breakdown) the clock will continue to run while repairs are affected.

Here's an additional bit for the rules.

Cars in Modern Class and Group B will be split into two classifications - AWD and 2WD.

This now gives us five different scoring classifications.
