Lookin' good Monte! Some of that stuff looks kinda familiar.............

I did some pokin' around in the nest today (what I have come to refer to the attic of the shop as, as in Goose Nest). I located a few of the cars Chris spoke about that use the Sebring chassis. All of the cars pictured use the exact same chassis, the Sebring. Even the chassis under the Revell/Monogram cars are stamped MRRC. At any rate this is just a small sample of the USED cars I plucked (sorry yet another Goose pun) from a tote.

Tomorrow I will do some testing with these cars to see how they run on Inslot's Checkered Flag in stock configuration. If they run OK here they should run OK anywhere!

Pending test results I would be happy to sponsor this new class of racing by making the cars available CHEAP. Like $15 CHEAP to folks intent on RACING them. But I have two stipulations.......

1. This new class would be developed primarily as an entry level class with its sole purpose to help new racers get started in NASTE's racing program. With that said modifications must be limited and simple to execute.

2. This new class will be called the Goose Cup. Goose really liked the Sebring chassis and I know he was constantly searching for a less powerful motor replacement for the chassis. There are lots of slimline test motors scattered here and there is all of his stuff. Tomorrow I'll see if there is any potential with the stock motors. I know on Al's track as well as others we can just drop the voltage to get the motor performance we desire. Just like we have done for the Over 50 class.

To Chris' point...........uh..............true!

I also like that idea Tom. Sounds like a really good way to get new people more involved and up to speed more rapidly. I would also add what Al stated in his previous post.

Very nice Zack!

I've seen Beau use a method similar to this some years back.

Thanks Zack! I have struggled with scratchbuilding brass chassis for almost 40 years! I know that practice is probably one area that would help me greatly, but making time to actually sit down and do it is where I fall short!

Thanks again for all you're doing for all of us!

That all looks good to me Zack!
