Congratulations to Monte and Victoria Saager on being selected to host one of the events for the SCX Classic Rally Proxy Series.  There are going to be events in Norway, Denmark, Ireland, Germany, France, Canada, Australia and of course the good ol' USA.  The event is scheduled for October unless changes are made.

They make this chassis in two sizes; 4 or 4.5 inch.  Which one are you thinking of using?

I think it looks great and I bet you'll find you are able to get a way better rythm going with this set up.

They can be fun, but be advised they will cause crashes that can damage cars.  If you are racing  competitively I would advise against them.  Messing around with some friends would be okay.  Just my two cents

Mike- You have to be able to have access to a website that you can host photo's.  I use Photobucket but there are others or you may have your own.  You set up an account and upload photo's to there from your computer.  Once you have them uploaded and saved there four choices that show up under your photo's.  Click on the one that says direct link, you may have to right click and copy but I think it copies automatically.  When you have this done then start a post here.  Add whatever text you want and then use the following formatting:
Type just like this [img]paste the direct link from Photobucket[/img]  or [img]http:/www.mysite.com/myfolder/myfile.jpg[/img] if that makes more sense.  Basically, just take the url for the image and surround it with the tags  and the pictures magically appear.

With Scalextric Sport the track with the power/controller hook ups is set up so you can run two wall warts (power supplies) it helps eliminate power drop off when one guy gets on the power first.  It is not a variable set up though. A good variable power supply is not cheap at least the ones I have looked at.  You don't mention how many amps the one you are looking at is.  I would say you need at least 5 amps, Monte or Bill or ? can correct me on this.

I need to strip some paint off a resin body.  I have used brake fluid on plastic models but I'm not sure about resin.  Who's done this and what did you do?

They have some Ninco track left at Bridgetown Hobbies.  It's been there a looooong time.  I'll check and see what it is and see if they will discount to get rid of it.

I would second what Monte has to say.  Make sure the cars stay on the lanes also.

Actually there is an IMC 1/25  Ford J kit on Ebay but it's kinda pricey.  I had a GT40 when I was a kid and had no skills to do it justice.  They are pretty nice kits. 

Update- It sold for $52.00

Apparantly you've always had a thing for rule bending J cars.  I'm beginning to see a pattern.  We've seen the 1/32 car and now the HO, where's the 1/43 and 1/24???????
