This Thursday is New Year's Eve, probably not a good night to do it.  The next Thursday is the 8th, we have a race on the 10th and BSCC on the 13th and I have already heard "only three days apart, how come?".....she tolerates this pretty well but with all our kids it is hard to corral them by yourself and help is always appreciated.  Don't let me scheduling issues affect the whole group, just let me know what's up and we'll see.

I think the difference between my car and Monte's is that mine was a Fly Racing Kit, with kit being the operative word.  I believe most of the others are RTR.  By the way, in typical Fly fashion, the provided axles would not fit through the rear bushings or fit the wheels, so I had to improvise and stole the ones off of the Spirit Reynard.  It came in a flexible plastic box with foam lining, not a hard case as most do. It has the lexan interior and I think a lighter body as well. I just found this at Electric Dreams: http://electric-dreams.com/Shop/index.php?cPath=48
They might not be that different afterall....

Monte- Mine has the same motor: Fly Evo2 long can but it does have the motor pod and suspension.
Bill- I meant to run it at Jeff's last Saturday but left it in the car and it was too miserable to get it.  I paid around $55.00 for mine on Ebay quite a while ago, so prices may have gone up. We can compare them at the next race.

I see where he tried to enter, but he might have too late as I don't see his name on the entry list.

Have you been in contact with Greg Petrolati? This sounds like his cup of tea to me. Where are the rules posted etc????

That is good news, but how are we going to get lost following Tony to the warehouse?

Bill- Have you tried the Carrera cars on the 1/24 track?  I'm certain we can make the Slot.its run as it has already been done by you and others.  What about a bracket style race format. Let's say LMP style bodies, but no set make or brand of chassis, just a break out time.  That would encourage some creativity and allow for some tinkering.  You could even have more than one class or level that way different levels of ability could compete on a even playing field. It could even be set up as a progression.  I am just throwing out ideas.  I will race pretty much anything,except Randy's ASCARS, (Those old Scalextric Nascars) I really don't like them things.

Monte- I recommend "Flying Hills" in keeping with the theme.

Rico

George- I have Blue or Magenta only

Throw in 3 more kids, 15 rental units, a cat and everyone coming to my house for Thanksgiving.  Are we having fun yet?

I have been watching several of these cars on Ebay including some from each of the four major brands and they seem to be selling in the $25.00 to $50.00 range.  Ofcourse, this is depending on brand and completeness of the car. I am not seeing that they are especially cheap and this is not including any additional costs to make them run. Do not get me wrong, I still think it would be fun to try these out, but let's not mislead on the cost involved on running these cars.

Rico

I might have to take you up on that someday!!!!

Monte has already provided the moving targets......your competitors cars!  We better tone this down or he's gonna change his mind about having the race.
