Have you used Tracker 2000?  It will tell you the exact lane length for each lane.  However, if you swap lanes then it doesn't really matter.  We typically runs heats in a rotating manner so that each driver has a turn on each lane.  Then it's not a question of who got the good lane.  You have to do well on all the lanes.

Yes, that's what I did too.  Works well depending on your ability and patience.  You can also go the foam route.

Are those tractor tires on the front?

To make something like this possible, I wonder if we should consider moving to shorter heats with a max off rule?  I think I'd opt for separate winners so that one doesn't appear to have more value than another.  IROC is a drivers series, the other I view as more of a builders series.

Good luck!  Let us know how it goes.

Bryan's point is well taken.  If we move to self-owned cars then those that don't have one may not be racing.  And that's not really a good thing.  I've got two separate tracks of cars to sponsor here at home so I'm not really interested in having a complete set of stuff for EVERY scale, it just doesn't make sense economically.  I prefer to specialize in the scale that works here at home.  However, I'm glad to race any scale I don't have when cars/controllers are supplied.  Since I do already have some 1/24 scale stuff so I would be interested in that too but only if the cost stays down, that's just too many scales for me and I am probably not alone here.  And that's the glory of NASTE IROC.

Perhaps build-your-own 1/24 scale cars would be a good idea for the NASTE Thursday night crowd.

One of the web sites was mentioning that the red 917 is an NSR that hasn't been released yet.  Yet.  Very cool.

I agree with Bryan, fantastic job.  Bill, one question:  In your opinion which one did you prefer?

Here's some pictures from the event.

Thanks for coming everyone!  We had a great time.

Another good time last night at Bill's as eight friends of the slot gathered for - what else - slot cars!

For those of you that missed it, we ran around both 1/24 and 1/32 scale cars.  I was surprised at how well the 1/32 scale cars took to the track.  Magnet-less of course.  And yes, Rico has the Fly car to beat.  We also looked at some ideas for our proxy racer that will be entered in an "around the world" race.  Thanks Bill!  Hope you got some sleep.

Stay tuned for the next NASTE Thursday.

Here's the two common Fly motors that could easily be compatible for a Fly class used by many of the different cars:
