Race results from the August 1st Odd Thursday Night Race:

Fantastic racing last night at Al's Rippin' Ridin' Raceway! Although I only stuck around for one race I had a great time! I was totally unprepared to race but Zack loaned me his F1 Polycar and controller to compete in the F1 race. I gotta say Zack is the man to beat in this class! His car handles beautifully! Nice job Zack and thanks for lending me your equipment!

The racing in the F1 class was extremely close, except for Zack killing us for the win! Here's the results from the night of racing:

I'll echo what Stan said, it was a great time at Al's last night! The other part of his post that caught my attention was "Zack Speed". How appropriate!

I'm gonna try something a little different for posting the results this morning. Mostly because i'm old and lazy!

GUYS, Mike has dropped the price of his cars to $20 a piece!!! These are AWESOME deals! Take a look at what he has to sell!!!!

Then there is the Scalextric D type. Several of us has fooled around with these cars, I'm not sure if anyone has had much success with one. I've made this one smooth but it just suffers badly in high speed turns. It's a good looking car though.

This Monogram also suffers with a 24K motor with no brakes

This is Scalextric's version of a front motored XKE. Though they look so similar to the Ninco car I am unable to get it to rum nearly as smooth.

Of the other cars the Ninco XKE is the smoothest and most tunable but it's narrowness cost it heavily in the corners

Of the front motored cars I've fooled with the L88 will probably dominate a front motored class just like the GT40 did the Sports Car Class. This white one with just the magnet replaced with lead and urethane tires can run in the 6.9s with it's Scaley parts.

I did a little checking this morning to see what I have available. I do have cars that would fit this class. Here's a list of what I KNOW I have available:

Revell/Monogram - Cobra Daytona GT Coupes = YES
                            Grand Sport Corvettes = YES
                            Greenwood Corvettes = YES
                            Jaguar E-Type = 1
                            Shelby Mustang GT350R = YES

Scalextric - L88 Corvette w/hardtop = YES
                 L88 Corvette convertible = YES

At this point in time I have not yet inventoried the Scalextric cars so I do not know what I have available in that brand. I do however know I have the L88 Corvettes! If you guys decide to move forward with this class I am willing to sell any of the cars listed above for $20 a piece to support the new class. This is the "racer price" to NASTE Odd Thursday Night racers. I may have other eligible Scalextric cars, but until I complete the inventory I won't know for sure. I may have two or three Fly Ferrari 250 GTOs but I would need more than $20 for them. I no longer have any Revell Porsche 550 Spyders for sale, they're all sold or spoken for.

One question I have in regards to this new class is, how do the Revell/Monogram motors compare to the Scalextric's performance-wise?

Motor chassis cars was  suggesting. Thinking no on aftermarket  wheels for now.trying to keep it a low cost class. Will address  that 8f guys are have  issues with stock running gear.only thing I found is that you have to super glue the intermediate  shaft bushing in the chasdis
