No problem, I can loan you one for the time being.

In fact you might ask Randy if he still has his Parma's.

Very nice, that track is coming along nicely.

Drew, bring a Professor Motor Controller if you have one, and I know you do.  ;-)

We want to make sure we have enough to IROC the controllers too.  Thanks!

It's the Shari's in Washington at Exit 39 on I-5 I believe.  Might be easiest to meet us there.  I'm guessing Bill will head out on 205 to I-5.

Drew, I'd guess no later than back to town by 8pm.  Come join us.

Come on gang, let's go!

Might be easier for us to just meet you at Shari's.  9am?

Yes, race at 1pm.  We should try to be there by noon.

Victoria and I are apparently interested after all.  We're interested in stopping at Alan's shop on the way home if that's ok.

I only have window seats...

Talked with Tony, he thinks a 1pm start time is reasonable.

Dang, I'm gonna be in the wrong car, no fair.  Maybe we'll have a bidding war for Dorothy.

It sounds fine to me.  No sense punishing people that don't want to or don't haev the time to make the out of town trek.

Yesterday saw a great crowd of twenty-two racers show up for an enjoyable afternoon of racing.  We also had a few new folks out and it's always a joy to be able to share the hobby.  After two grueling sets of lane-to-lane combat Rico turned in the top performance of the afternoon although the gap at the top shrunk some once Monte placed his newest entry - a Ninco Ford GT - on the track.  And that also might have been a little different if Bill had time to stay for the second set. 

Here now the results:

Rico Locati: 108
Monte Saager: 105
Greg Petrolatti: 100
Terry Abbott: 98
Tracy Flood: 97
Timba Booze: 97
David Harburg: 93
Victoria Saager: 89
Bryan: 83
Jimmy Jones: 83
Dorothy Abbott: 81
Aiden: 78
Devyn: 74
Terry 2Harleys: 74
Todd Flood: 70
Cash Petro: 68 *
Bill Bostic: 54 #
Dennis Hart: 47 #
Mike Lombardi: 44 #
Barbara Schoorl: 40 * #
Ed Schoorl: 34 * #
Devon Schoorl: 27 * #

Thanks all, we'll look forward to seeing you next month.

I just recently got a bunch of tires from him for my 1:32 cars and I can confirm what Bill says.

I drove it in the second set of heats.  It seemed to go pretty well as far as I could tell.  Next year - rutabagas!

Yes, we had a good time too and Victoria was especially proud of her prize winning car.  She squashed the competition.  Thanks to team Courtney.

HOT DAMN!

Congratulations.

We'll look forward to hearing the first reports of how it feels.

You can?  The power is hooked up?  That's wonderful!

LOOK!  It's tape!  That looks pretty good.  So it smooths it right after it lays it down?

So is the idea that the alligator clip will connect to the copper ring?  Will the plugs fit the copper connector too?

Tape, tape, tape, tape!
