Another sad day. Sorry to hear that. I know he certainly enjoyed the hobby.

Re: Monte at the SCX Nationals (4 replies, posted in Events)
Yup, that's me proudly wearing my NASTE shirt running my first heat in red being chased by Li'l Phil in yellow. It was a good event and a fun track. Not too hard to learn. Won a couple of cars on the trivia contests that Rich did every now and then. Got an older SCX (matchbox) 4WD Toyota Corolla for knowing that a "red head" in Ferrari-speak means Testa-Rossa. In fact I seemed to be the only one that knew that. And got a really nice Spirit Peugeot for being the fastest with Enzo's son: Dino.
Got there about 8:30 Friday night and stayed at the track until about 11:30 practicing. During so, I changed the crown gear and removed ALL the weight I had added. On Saturday I was #18 on the list so I waited just about three hours before my first heat. Had to take a few minutes to get used to the track again. Could have done a little better. Could have done a lot worse. Learned a few new tricks.
Had a great time hanging out with Dave Kennedy and Tommy Pintchuck. Even heard things that I can not tell you. Got to fondle the new Purple Cuda's - both #42 and #48. They are spectacular.
I'd like to thanks my sponsors and supporters. It was greatly appreciated.
Spent today touring the historical sites in downtown Philadelphia. Apparently there isn't really a map on the back of the Declaration of Independence...

Re: Fly Classic Class (26 replies, posted in BSCC)
I think we should have some weight limits. I don't know what they should be. I'm all for a stock gear ration. Seems simple. Not sure exactly how we will enforce it though. Can you remove the rear wheels to replace the Spur gear?

It is a mind-set change that's for sure. You have to get used to looking ahead in case you're about to overtake a car in your lane.

That looks great. How many cars do you run at the same time?

Re: Fly Classic Class (26 replies, posted in BSCC)
I am against the SuperTires simply because they are such a chore to get profiled. Fantasy World Tony has recommended IndyGrips #3003. Let's just go with that one. It is supposed to fit all the Fly Classics. I put them on my car and they seem to work fine.

Howdy friends. We need to be able to forecast how many hand-out sets of motors and tires we will need so if you plan to enter and you are not on the list below, let us know.
If you are on the list and are not going to enter, better let us know that as well.
Thanks!
