Re: Winter Season Building Tips, Parts, Motors etc (4 replies, posted in BSCC)
Howdy Andre.
I have to build at least two cars. One for me and one for Victoria. Since I've got probably half a dozen or more possibilities I'll need to ask her which one she wants to run but I'll be using either an Avant Slot Pescarolo or the ScaleAuto Toyota. The AV will probably be the stock motor, it's probably enough for this class. The ScaleAuto is where the possibilities start to come into play so I am undecided. I have motors from Slot.It, NSR, Ninco, ScaleAuto, AV, and probably a few others that would work.
I wonder what Rico is building...

Re: NASTE Race number 4 (6 replies, posted in NASTE)
Yes, thanks to my team as well. The finish was a lot closer than it looked like it was going to be for a while. I need to work on my team selecting I guess. It seemed like the track fared pretty well for a new layout. I enjoyed it and it seemed to have a reasonable flow to it. I'm moving the second crossover curve and also fixing the corner I futzed up. One more time for the sanding routine. I've determined there are many things I'd rather do than sand.
And tires... what the heck was up with that third car. I thought the tires were ok but clearly not. I figured it was just crazed drivers but when I got to it, holy moley...
We'll do better next time.
Next up for the digitral track - Ribs'n'Racin' II.

Well, we'll certainly keep running the Ninco's for some times since most people have one already. Maybe we can figure out how to beat that Rico guy if we do this long enough.
I am thinking of adding a second set however and just running the Ninco's through one time.
How about Vintage F1? Or vintage Spo's Ca's.

Topic: Penguin Point First Sunday Series - November (3 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
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
