I agree. IROC is the perfect format to exhibit a new format so everyone can give it a try without having to make a firm commitment.

Not mine. I'm missing an orange handled pair. They are probably around here some place.

Re: What do you have? (38 replies, posted in Digital Racing)
I'm not aware of anyone with a digital track in the Auburn area but there are a few coming into play in our local area. It's the direction of the future.
About the Avatar... It's a matter of what the forum software allows rather than any restriction we have put into place.
Are you currently able to race 6 cars with the Scaley setup? I considered adding digital to my current Scaley track but ended up in a great deal involving SCX Digital.

Or at least limit their fuel opportunities! Glad you all made it. That was an amazing site watching 5 cars run around the track.

Re: NASTE Thursdays (41 replies, posted in NASTE)
There was a rally in Maine a few years ago. At the driver's meeting a question was raised about what to do with the expected heavy dust from the dirt roads. Legendary European driver Stig Blomquist spoke up: "Dan't be a veemp, poot your foot down!"
Heck, I'll bring an extra car... veemps...

Re: Crossovers (3 replies, posted in Track)
I personally like squeeze sections better but then again I've also got a digital trac with all kinds of cross-overs on it. They're fun, you just have to keep an eye out for the other cars.

Yes, if you have somewhere to store the photos like Flicker, then all you have to do is wrap the url inside these tags like this:

Howdy Andre. It was great meeting y'all at Randy's the other night. I'm sure you'll find a number of us here interested in joining your races. I'm not much of an HO guy myself but always willing to learn. Could you post a few pictures of the cars you run for examples?

Yes, that would be a good starting point. Check Craig's List. That's where I got both of mine.

Re: Power supplies (7 replies, posted in Track)
It depends on the current ratings. I run a variable power supply that is adjustable from 6 to 15v with 22A current. For a two lane track, it's plenty, probably for a four lane too. Current is more important than voltage.

Re: Track length and curves (6 replies, posted in Track)
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.
