Ok, so I talked on the phone with Larry and here's what I have come to understand...

1.  The class is to use the PARMA International 32 chassis.
2.  Motor is the Falcon 7.
3.  Bodies are to be LEXAN Vintage GT bodies from the 60's era.  Bodies are available at Patto's and Larry recommends using the stick-on decals.
4.  I'm guessing wood-track foamies will be the tires of choice.

Larry hopes to have a meeting in early October to discuss rules and possible venues for the proposed series.  He estimates a running car should cost less than $50.

And that's what I know.  We'll wait to see what comes from the meeting.

It was a hard-fought battle but the edge at this point clearly goes to the NSR cars.  Of the cars entered, I counted 3 Slot.It, 1 Racer and 4 NSR. 
Rico's NSR P68 was slightly faster than My 917 giving it the edge.  It was great to see how well the NSR cars ran just by doing nothing more than pulling the magnet.  Those are exceptionally nice cars and it will be interesting to see if one of the other brands cars can slip by them at some point.

Results:
24 - Rico Locati (NSR P68)
22 - AJ Locati (NSR Slot.It F40)
22 - Monte (NSR 917)
14 - David Harburg (NSR 917)
8   - Victoria (Racer LM250)

I'm ok with whatever we choose to run but it seems like personal cars would in some ways limit us in what races some of us could attend.  I think we need to be sure that we have a set of loaner cars ready at each venue for those that might not have the selected car on that night.  Otherwise I'm happy with IROC.  As far as individual cars, I know we could pretty well come up with an extra set of either SCX GT's or NASCAR's.  I'm sure enough of us already have those.  But then we have to deal with tech inspection at each race.  Probably no issue, just an extra time element to consider on race night.

Bill, you should mention this at SCI and you'll probably get an offer.

Rico, yes.  I would say the BWA NC1 would be a good choice.  Also the FF motor but not the higher speed versions that are in the Scaley GP cars.  With the narrow tires these cars will use, it would be hard to get a lot of power to the track anyway.

Matching SEAT's in yellow.  One is 2wd, the other is 4wd.  Lemme take a picture.

Class 1 would pretty much allow you to run anything from those companies with 22.5K or less motors.  Non-mag of course.

I think the Vintage F1 class would work well here since we don't have the killer speed at the end of the straight like some do.  We'd also limit it to motor size, those rocket motors would be out of line for this set.

The GT and LMP classes would allow us to run some different cars than what we normally run.  I've got a lot of cars, it would be nice to get to use some of them.  hmm

I'm just about to put up a couple of NC-1 powered rally cars on that auction site.  I thought about keeping them for motor donors.  Anyone that wants a couple of NC-1's better contact me soon!

So there we were in the middle of the first heat when I over-cooked a corner and came off.  And then I did it again...  I spent the rest of the heat trying to catch AJ.  Lap after lap I closed the gap until I finally caught him on the final turn on the final lap headed for the lap counter.  I had him... victory was within reach... then he smacked me into the wall and that was that.  The rest of the day saw Rico racking up heat victories like a man possessed.  Going into the final heat I had one more chance to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.  But I was in the outside lane, AJ had the middle lane and it was not to be.  Taking the heat victory and a tie for top honors of the day with the cherry-picking Rico was AJ.  We'll get 'em next time.

Rico now takes the lead in the hotly contested Fly Classics Lifetime Points Standings.

Here's the official totals:

Rico Locati: 26
AJ Locati: 26
Monte: 24
Dennis Hart: 22
Victoria: 17
David Harburg: 16
Dominic Locati: 14
Kelly Locati: 6
