To all you turkeys who I haven't seen in a long time, may you have a fantastic and tryptophan-filled day of giving thanks. Despite the state of the _________ (you choose: world, nation, galaxy, universe, state, racing scene, etc...), I have much to be thankful for, and I'd bet you do too.
So despite the dumpster fire that has been much of 2020, here's to happy thoughts of what the future brings!!!
Look forward to racing toy cars with you all again soon,

The year best forgotten, right?
I saw something on the internet recently where someone who was having a really crappy day was asked how they were doing. They replied with the litany of issues they were being massacred by and closed with, "you know... it's been a real 2020 kind of day."
It will be a long time before this is forgotten, but it won't be for a lack of trying.
Sure hope so. let see what happens on 1/23/21 we all might have more time on our hands than we all think.....
What is supposed to happen on 1/23/21?
I'm still up in the air as far as a car......
I would recommend bringing one, Bill.
If you don't, it's like bringing a knife to a gun fight, except in this case, you're bringing nothing to a gun fight. Either way ends poorly for you.
Mine is waiting until I have some spare time. Not sure when that might actually be, so I am living vicariously through Bill.
I miss mine though, especially now...
Dude, you keep working like this and you might ruin your recklessly squandered reputation!
You might even have to build my new track for me.
I hear ya Chris, I visit a few interesting pages and keep up with some far flung relatives but the rest is pretty much just crap.
Lots of crap out there yep, but the vids of the race and track look great. Definitely need to get over there one day.
Chris, I posted photos and videos on HRWs facebook page and Slot racing old schools page, Also NW truescale's page.
This site won't let me post videos and only 1 photo at a time.
Ah, FB. The derby was the only thing pushing me to that site. I am back to spending very little time on it, and I haven't missed it. I'll go look though, just for you!
So a whole bunch of people had a great time racing on a super cool track and no one has posted any pics? Kinda makes me think it might not have happened.
XOXO,
the Koub
Hurry up. I'm ready
Hell yeah, me too!
Here comes the next headache for you....
If you just de-shimmed the 180° corner, do you need to de-shim the entrance to the new section from the bridge? Looking at the pics, it does seem to have a bank into the corner which is no longer there- actually it's now going the opposite way. You may want to think about that now instead of later....
You're welcome!
I see enough political crap elsewhere. Let's keep it out of here please.
I'd be interested, but have no cars for the races.
That makes two of us Stan. Solidify dates and I'll try to make it work if there are loaners available.

Chris,
I had to go watch this video. I found it......informing.
Oh yeah, I watched it too- well, some of it. He just seemed so happy and caffeinated right out of the blocks that he seemed more like a cartoon character than anything else. Clearly knows what's going on with modeling though...
This guy is WAY too excited about fake grass!

Oh, that was sarcasm. I had to think about it for a minute.
Winner winner, chicken dinner!!!
I think what that car needs is a little more rubber on the rear wheels.
If we ever get free to congregate, let me know, I'd be glad to help.
You're on(!), but full disclosure- your pay will suck and your boss will be a dork.
I will admit to underestimating this thing a bit but this has certainly made me feel better about not racing lately:

I think it's the right thing to put this all on pause for a while.
Chris,
time to build?
It has been for a while, even before I gave the old one away. It's on the "list of things to do" but has a hard time getting to the top. If this continues a while longer, it may get there though.
My track is all buttoned up because we had prepared for the renovation of the shop into a game room/Airbnb 2nd unit, so I can't run anything, and I have no workshop space in the house.
At least you still have your track... I gave mine away!
Truly missing it now.
The last set of points I adjusted were in my '52 Chevy, and I eventually went electronic in that making it...Pointless.
OMG, you stealth-punned me, and it was brutally fantastic!! Well played sir! Much respect.
Just 'cause I'm feeling in a giving mood, here are some points for Mitch:
Happy Monday everyone!
Too Much Info
Yeah, what Rico said.
Never thought I'd have to say this but... Try not to over-think it Bill.
I am wondering about Al, hoping his off night was just an off night... All is normal around Casa Kouba though- ignoring the yard and basically any adult responsibilities. Walking with the wife and dog, binging through some TV shows, building a SpecKart for the (likely to be cancelled) event at Maryhill in April, working on the boat, monkeying with the truck, and actually driving the GT a little bit too!
My commute has been fantastic lately though. So I've got that going for me... which is nice.
Hope all is well around everybody else's campfires.
