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.

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

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

HOT DAMN!

Congratulations.

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

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

Tape, tape, tape, tape!

We'll keep you posted on when the next ones that we are running start up.  Either the IPS or TLOR would be good choices.

Oh you guys are too kind!

Here now the results from Sundays fun and furious racing.  I might have got another point or two but I was stymied by team orders.  ;-)

Regardless, those two in front of me were FAST!

Lifetime points in the Ninco series will be updated.  We'll look forward to seeing you all next month.

Thanks!

It will be interesting to see those hunks of wood take shape.

One step forward, one step back...

So I found the wrong type of spray glue to use on the Depron foam.  Ran out of the Elmer's spray and found an older can of mounting spray.  Looked good for starters but after about 6 hours it curled the foam, top and bottom, not at all good.  At least it was a smallish section made of little bits and pieces.  So I went to the store and got the right type of glue and finished most of the curve sections.  Now for a few weeks of leveling and sanding... 

It occurred to me that I glued down aprons right where I had planned to plug in the chrono and lap counter.  Oh well, we have better ideas now.

I did get to turn a few laps last night testing the aprons.  About 300.

More progress to report.

The screening portion is complete.  Really don't care for that part.  Finally got smart and put on the gloves.

Victoria has covered most of the screen.  For ease of use and expediency we used the plaster cloth.  Goes on easy, hardens nicely.

I have also been working on the roadway shoulders using Depron foam that I was able to find at Tammies in Beaverton.  It's apparently popular with the RC airplane folks.  It comes in sheets of 3mm and 6mm thickness.  As it turns out, 9mm is the perfect height so one stacked on top of the other is just right.  It also easily cuts with a  nice, sharp Exacto knife.  Just lay the track on top and trim.  I plan to put some manner of plaster over the top to smooth the surface, fill the small gaps and paint.
