Wow, that is nuts but it is a shaped case.
Rico, did someone cut a chunk out of the front?

Fair 'nuff. I understand exactly where you are coming from which is why we are starting to lean toward a FLY class with a spec motor.

Rico and I both have the cars so that's what started it. I personally don't care for the Daytona Prototypes.

I do Resilient Doug's website so it's pretty easy to trade for stuff. You can check his site and get his complete listing of bodies. There's quite a few.

Re: Fly Porsche GT1 Evo (28 replies, posted in Cars)
Mine does not have a pod and has the Evo2 motor. Rico, what's yours got for a motor? Same?
Like the Alfa in that first link. Bill, did you find anyone with a good price on these cars?

Re: International Proxy Series 2009 - We have an entry! (9 replies, posted in Events)
That would be the place to start. Here's the details:
1963 and prior Sports cars - open or closed
Max width: 2.24" (57mm)
Plastic or Resin is ok, but no Lexan.
Head/Tail lights are required per the car.
I'll look through my extra bodies and see what I have that might work. Almost any of the old Ninco classics would probably be a possible starting point. Though I don't think I'll be taking the saw to any of the 356's. But we'd consider a suitable donor. And if there's something that Resilient Doug makes, well, that's pretty easy to get.
Give it some thought and discussion.

They update the list periodically. There are slots open, I'm sure he'll get in.

Re: Fly Porsche GT1 Evo (28 replies, posted in Cars)
NUTZ. Looks like I got the wrong one. Mine is the GT1 Evo 2. But perhaps they are reasonably compatible. We'll find out. Anyone want to join us in our Fly Evo class? Victims welcome...
Here's mine - somewhere in the mail:

You'll note it's listed as for "serious racers only". No more smiling for me.

Topic: International Proxy Series 2009 - We have an entry! (9 replies, posted in Events)
The other day I signed up for the 2009 IPS which is a world wide proxy series starting in early 2009 with 8 races schedued for the series. The rules have been posted and I've begun forming a crack team of designers from the NASTE ranks to try and build a winning entry. Cars are pre-63 sports cars with NC-1 motors and Ninco Classic tires. Sounds like a great time.
The car needs to arrive in Australia in late March so we've got just about 3 months to build a world-beater. We'll keep you updated on our progress.

Re: SCX 1/43 cars (10 replies, posted in Cars)
So has anyone other than Dave done 1/43 yet? Of course if one of you slot car Santa's wants to drop off a 1/43 scale set, particularly the SCX F1 set, I promise I'll find a location to set it up. And I've been a really good boy this year.

Re: SCX 1/43 cars (10 replies, posted in Cars)
George, the SCX 1/43 sets and cars have been getting really good reviews on the SCX forum from users, they sound like a good deal. The F1 set look like the best one to get. Lowest I've seen it has been $79.
I've also seen some pretty nice detailed tracks put together in a much smaller area than what it took to put up either of our tracks. Why if I only had room for one more track...

As Bill reported, a group of us not only toured the Fantasy World warehouse but also got a look at the new race track they have put in. I have it on good authority that an Enduro is being planned for some time in February. We'll keep you posted as we get more information.
