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. 

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!

The schedule has been confirmed for the remainder of this year.  What has not been confirmed is what sort of car we should run.  Comments gladly considered.  Possibles:

1.  Italian Challenge: Racer, Slot.It, NSR

2.  Ninco NC1 or NC5

3.  LMP - Any with motor restrictions

4.  GT - Any with motor restrictions

5.  Vintage F1

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

VACATION!  Darn...  Have a great time.

Thanks for hosting John, we had a great time.  We'll see you in September.  I thought the cars were a blast.

Howdy David and welcome. 

These are Scalextric cars?  You might want to switch to SCX cars, though eventually they will all slow down.

We can provide test cars if you need some.

I have useless boxes of them in the attic.  I once burned trophies and kept the house warm for a week in the dead of winter.  We've re-used them for other events.  A lot of them deserve to just be left in a box in the attic.

I think the worst one was from a Valentines Day rally where they took one of those sugar candy cars and glued it to the trophy.  About a year later I found it laying on the floor.  It had rotted off...

And did I hear you say you want to make trophies?

It should be an exciting finale.

Agreed on all counts.  And how about that AJ!  Congrats to Aj and Rico.  And Kelly...  just amazing.

I'm having second thoughts on the Sloter cars.  I think they would dominate.  Maybe we'll let them run at the Pen this last time as a test...
