Awesome!  Is that a cardboard covered wall that I see?

Yes, the season has concluded.  Next up is the big gala event - the 4 hour Digital Enduro the first Sunday of August that will also be a NASTE planning meeting for next year.  We invite all interested parties to join us.  It should be just that, a party.

Thank you very much.  I think I should send Dorothy and Kathy a gift.

Yes, it was a surprising night.  We'll look forward to Dorothy and the video evidence!  Thanks Larry and Lynette.  The Slingshot seems more like Pinball Alley.  I had no idea BYOB meant bring your own belts.

I'm gonna need the address.

C'mon, you can find a lexan one.  Card stock is just so cheesy.

Any objection with sticking with the Ninco's for the remainder of the year?  Most people already have one of those.  I've also got an ample amount of loaner cars.

Works for me.  I've got an entire can of purple paint.  Any other restrictions?

Point well taken.  I think low-cost and high-availability would be attractive for a group.

So I did a little studying.  I think the Scalextric line of Crash-Resistant cars is the way to go.  Those are the ones with the blacked out windows.  There's a reasonable variety and also quite a group of them available on ebay.  Cars would include:

Porsche 997
Ferrari F430
Lamborghini Gallardo
McLaren MP4-12C
Audi R8 LMS GT3
Mini Cooper
Nissan GT-R
Jaguar XKR GT3
Range Rover (why not!)

Probably a few others that I don't know about but basically any of the Scaley cars with the blacked out windows and the 18k motor.

Should also be enough liveries available that we won't all have the same car.  And since most of us will have to buy a car, some of us may have to buy more than one, at least the cost is reasonable.  I haven't seen one listed over $35 with many under $30.

I say we run them for 6 months.  The first three months they stay stock except for tires.  The last three you can also change the wheels and gears, maybe a few other things.

Give me your thoughts.

You're right, they are all over the place, that would be the beauty.  And probably allow most of us to already have a car.  I'd probably have to give some consideration to the motor.  I recall some of those slim cans were pretty quick.  But as we've learned, a fast car is not always an advantage on a short, tight track.

Both the food and the racing were great.  We have a wonderful time, thanks again!
