I like to make a change to the gt3 rules. this change is not a performance up grade. more in the line of a fix.there have been a number of guys that have had a problem with spur gear spinning on the axle. Rico on his 3rd and I think Greg has had one or two. I just had my 2nd one let loose this last race. I have found if you can get one of the rims off you can slide the axles bushings off the axle. you then can slide a slot it spur gear onto the axle with a little force. re assy the bushings and glue the rim back on and no more loose spur gears.
I have not run it on a track yet but it runs smooth on my test bench. its cheaper than a new axle. only place I have been able to buy them from is electric slots and shipping is more than the axle was. I will have it at Monties if anybody want to see what I did. only thing is we need to keep the same gear ratio. for this to be fair.

wb0s wrote:So here's an idea for the remainder of the point series season. Make a change to the racing calendar which removes the GT Class and Can Am Class races from the point series for the remainder of the point series season. Change those races to non-point races and address rules changes for next season. Continue running those classes as non-point races and maybe someone will figure out how to make Slot.it or NSR cars run with the Thunderslots? At least this way there will be no more penalty for not owning a Thunderslot.
If it's causing this much of a furor, here's my proposal-
There's no reason to do away with any of the classes for points, the only wrench in the works is the Thunder Slot, and I think the only round we've run with them was this week's Can Am. To make the most people happy, outlaw the Thunderslots for the rest of this year's Championship, throw the past week's round out the window, keep the final Can Am and GT rounds as part of this year's series, and figure out a way to integrate the Thunderslots into our rules structure in the coming off-season (which may still be exclusion from the championship).
This puts the competition back to where it was pre-TS, which was a known playing field before the season started and everyone should have a handle on just exactly how competitive their entries are and at least feel like it's an even field.
I'm for that also

I know that the thunderslot cars were determined legal to run in can am class but under the sprite of competition we should of had a discussion with it being a point race and all. That's all I was trying to put across

Looks like my driver was a little under the influence for his last race.
The incident involving the # 25 Porsche is under investigation !!!!!!!!! Most likely nothing to do with the driver spending some time in the Pit Stop Bar chatting up the lady.

Rally you say. I have no clue on what to get for this class. what is a good make to look at. are there 4 wheel or are there two wheel drive cars that you have to buy a kit to convert. this unschooled non rally racer needs to be schooled in the finer things of rally......
