I don't know at this time, although I would prefer straight up racing with no BS but the decision is not entirely mine.

Re: Fly Classic Class (26 replies, posted in BSCC)
One other topic of interest is the race format to used. Randy wants to use the SCX GT cars and the Fly cars in the same season. I see three possible formats- Half the season with each car, every other race or one heat of each every race night. Let us know what sounds good to you. I prefer one of the last two myself.

Re: Fly Classic Class (26 replies, posted in BSCC)
Bill- Yes, the 908 is the type of car with the pod. I have no idea which is superior, too bad you don't have a track to try them on and get an idea of the performance between the two. I'm just trying to avoid the Slot.it scenario where everyone ends up with an identicle car or where you have to go spend more $ every few weeks to keep up with the Jones'. If they are fairly equal then I don't see why we couldn't race them. I will need a couple of box stock car to compare and then let the group make a decision.

Re: Fly Classic Class (26 replies, posted in BSCC)
Well Bill- That was kind of the point of this whole thing was to find out what people wanted to do with this class. I have recieved one email and that is it, but it had some separate issues. By strict definition the GT40 and the 250LM would be out because they don't have the separate motor pod, but I was afraid the car choices would be somewhat limited so decided to let the people make the decision. I'm fairly sure the Ford would use the same motor as the others, but I'm not sure about the 250LM as it is quite a bit newer and may have a more powerful motor. I would like to try a stock GT40/250LM against some of the other cars to get an idea of any performance differences.

Topic: Fly Classic Class (26 replies, posted in BSCC)
Since I was put on the spot at the last race concerning the proposed Fly Classic class for next winter I have been doing some research and some thinking. Yeah, I know, there I go thinking again, but this is what I have come up with:
Eligible cars:
Ferrari 512S- Any version, long tail (coda lunga), short tail, spyder even the Playboy versions if so desired.
Lola T70
Chevron B19
Chevron B21
Porsche 908/2, 908/3, 908 Flunder
Porsche 917K, 917LH (long tail), 917 Spyder, 917 Flunder?, Please NO 917-10 CanAm style.
Any other Fly Classic car with the motor pod like the above cars that I may have missed.
To be discussed:
Ford GT40, Ferrari 250LM kit, Porsche Carrera 6. These cars do not have the motor pod but are correct for the time period. Let's talk about these.
Modifications:
Minor blueprinting of chassis and body. ie light sanding for clearance issues.
Stock Fly blackstripe motor. It is permissable to cut off excess shaft to avoid tire clearance issue.
Stock gear ratio only but changing brands is allowed. Ratio 11t pinion, 36t spur
No magnets of any kind (except in the motor for you smart asses and you know who you are)
Stock wheels at this time but this can be open for discussion
Converting stub axles to straight axles or bushing the stub axles with brass
Spec rear tire to be decided
Lead or brass weights are allowed
No exposed weights. All weights must be inside chassis.
Any guide flag that does not require extensive chassis modification ie Slot.it for stock guide.
Any brand of braid and lead wire.
That's all for now- let's see some discussion

Howie that was a Slot.it brand 962 with an inline motor pod. My sidewinder 962 did not feel as stable as the inline car. I tried my Lancia LC2 and my McLaren F1 GTR inline cars and both of those were very good.

AJ and I have decided to give this class a try. I have two chassis and related parts on the way. We are still deciding what bodies to buy. Being new to this kind of racing I would appreciate any kind of help regard gearing, ratio's etc. I understand that Gary Smith has spur gears for sale, but I have no way to contact him.
Thanks

But it was not quite as fast as someone's "aero" car. Hmm, I wonder whose that car was.......
