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.

A fun night, thanks.

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.

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

Look!  We're making progress.

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

Saturday afternoon and the base paint is pretty well down.

Time for some grass!

Progress continues.

That's a lot of cars!

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.

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.

If you have room, we'd be interested in riding part of the way.  If not, we'll get around.

That's pretty darn cool though.  Congrats Bill.

Give us a try.  We're bound to have something that won't.  ;-)
