I think we should have a race, The Corona 100!
I hear Lysol is an awesome tire cleaner/conditioner! We could mist Al's entire basement like it's a race in the English fog!
Winner gets a case of beer (obviously you know what brand)!
If we believe and follow the hype then we can figure we are all gonna get it anyway! Personally my plan is to just keep on living until SOMETHING kills me!

Re: The NASTE chassis! (49 replies, posted in Rapid Raceway)
This morning Zack stopped by Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway for a test session with his prototype 2NASTE chassis. Zack had the chassis assembled and configured to his Trans Am 2 car. After running just a handful of laps he had the car settled into low four second laps. Zack let me take the car for a spin and I'll tell you this car is impressive! It is better than any of my current Scholer chassis cars. It is much more forgiving and can be pushed very hard in the corners! I'm really looking forward to these chassis being available! Thanks Zack!

After just a few laps Zack was consistently lapping the Checkered Flag course in the 4.5 second range.

Another one of Bob's D3 chassis.
The dimensions of this chassis allow it to accept different bodies and compete in various classes. It is seen here with a Mercury body, but some Trans Am and later model stock car bodies also fit this chassis.

Bob built some really nice D3 chassis for racing at Paul Painter's Mile High Raceway in Keizer.
This is a beautiful hard body Can Am Lola T70 Bob built. This was one of Bob's latest chassis designs.

Re: PASER Co-founder Bob McFarland (27 replies, posted in PASER)
Bob was a pioneer in the world of 1/24 hard body slot car chassis building. His chassis still represent the leading edge of hard body chassis design. Here are a few of Bob's creations for you to take a look at.
This was a Porsche 962 Bob raced. Note the piece of electrical circuit board use as a terminal block for the motor wire to guide flag connection point.
This chassis was built to compete in Pelican Park's TT Class and features a Resilient Resins body made by the late Doug Haynes.

Re: Tire Truing (16 replies, posted in Modifications)
I do believe 110 degree would definitely affect a 1:1 racing tire. The rubber compound used for racing tires is much different than street tires for sure (the shop I worked in actually made recapped racing slicks). However I really doubt the slot car tires ever reach even 100 degrees (unless you are over aggressive when truing them!).

Re: Tire Truing (16 replies, posted in Modifications)
I worked in a tire recap shop when I was young. It takes extreme heat to affect the hardness or softness of rubber. I can't imagine we are generating that kind of heat even with the heavy and fast 1/24 scratchbuilt cars. If the tires were too hot to handle after a heat race I'd say maybe, but I just don't see it in our application.
As far as urethanes go, the molding is a cold pour process so again I think you would be talking about extreme heat to charge the tire's shore rating. With that said I do know they will "come apart" if in the truing process you get too aggressive and create too much heat. So if they were reaching a heat cycle close enough to change the shore rating I think they would just come apart. But then again that is a LOT of heat, way more than what is experienced by the car itself on the track. I did a fair amount of experimentation when I was molding urethane tires, and I do know that having them under a very hot lamp does nothing to affect the shore rating (as measured by a shore meter). The heat from the lamp was probably in excessive of any tire temperatures the cars themselves could generate.
