I'm sure you will find yourself winning heats. But if you like I can arrange a suitable heat for you. Maybe more than one.

No, Rico, I will just let the computer do it in a random manner.

At the current time you can run any manner of non-silicone tire. However, I am hopeful of getting enough pairs of urethane's to use as hand-outs and when I do we'll just use those.
Did you try to fit that test set I gave you? Rico?

Re: Racing at The Pen - Free for all (17 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
We're going to implement a new scoring system based on points. We will implement it for the Sunday race in February.
It works like this:
1st place in heat: 3 points
2nd place in heat: 2 points
3rd place in heat: 1 point
We'll score that way for each heat run. If we have ties, we'll break those based on lap totals.
This should give everyone an interesting chance at winning since the lap counts will only be used to break ties that result from the heat points.
Comments?

It really was a good event and the scores show that. Byron, too bad you missed it. Thanks again to the in-attendance Stummans!

Actually, that is the same lane in two different directions. So those cars would never be that close. Bill's idea of a barrier has merit except it could still be one of the other two cars colliding with the car in the blue lane. I want to try filling the gaps first with some more magna-braid. That would fill the gap as well as eliminate the unintentional dead strips.
And yes, the results were quite close for a first race. Kinda fun wasn't it.

Great idea, seems unlikely. We need to reduce the ability of the cars to float. I have some ideas!

Howdy George. I'm working on something very similar. Those are both good leads and would certainly be allowed regardless.

Re: Fly Classics Class Rules (16 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
Thanks for coming. I think we all have cars to work on. But at least it's not broken parts, just bad decisions that need correcting. And tires that need testing.

Wow! What a crowd!
Nineteen racers and a few spectators came out for the start of our new first Sunday series. Victoria and I thank you all. We had a great time. And a special thanks to Victoria for making a great pot of Albondigas soup on her first try! With that large a crowd, we did get a little behind the intended schedule so we just ran the Fly Classics. Here are the results:
Fly Classics @ 11v. 2 sets of 2 minute heats x 3 lanes
1. Frank 80.0 laps
2. Monte 78.7
3. AJ 76.8
4. Bill 76.3
5. Randy 74.3
6. Byron 73.6
7. Rico 73.2
8. Greg 72.9
9. Brooke 72.4
10. Tim 71.1
11. Mike 67.1
12. Myrna 65.9
13. Len 63.1
13. Victoria 63.1
15. Richard 53.7
16. Yeong 30.0 *
17. George 28.7 *
18. Sean 26.5 *
19. Minuk 22.7 *
* Denotes racers that left early and only ran the first set of heats.
We'll work on a few of the trouble issues prior to next month and will hope to see you all back here again next month.

Re: Fly Classics Class Rules (16 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
It will be fun to compare the different cars and see how they go. Looking forward to it!
I've got three cars set up. No two alike. Though I was able to get the NSR tires on two of them.

The first event is scheduled for January 3rd.
The first set of races will be the Fly Classics class. See the post for the rules. Check them often as there will be changes.
The second set of races will be the SCX Nascar's as raced in the Beaverton series except we will allow you to use any brand of tires.
Don't have a Fly Classic or an SCX Nascar? Loaner cars will also be available.

Re: Fly Classics Class Rules (16 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
Timba, Frank and I did a little testing yesterday and from what we saw, the Scalextric standard, Fly black stripe and Slot.It orange were all reasonably competitive on the track based on runnng at 10.5 Volts. And since we allow you to run any gear ratio you like, that should solve the speed issues between the different motors if there really are any.
I can show you the specs and here they are courtesy of the Slot Car News Motor List.
