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.

While that's a wonderful idea, something tells me this is not the right time of year to be chopping holes in the roof.

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.

Here's a progress report fresh from the Digital Hills.

This is the RECESSED track that sits on the table that Jack built.
Monte cut, hacked and jigsawed pieces as best he could to give the track a recessed appearance.
More as it occurs.

I beat Bill!
Ok, that's like two things...
Thanks to the Stumman's for hosting a fun night. I know Victoria really liked the Ninco Karts. That was her speed. In fact she was even able to stay on the lead lap in all the lanes except that tricky yellow lane. As for the Saleens, well that's another story.
(in all fairness to Bill, I had run the track before, he hadn't)

Topic: Gran Prix Cars in the spirit of Nuvolari (26 replies, posted in Cars)
I would like to start a class of Gran Prix cars encompassing all the years from 1950 - 1969. You can go here to find lists of what those cars would be:
The real problem comes in finding suitable cars or donor bodies so I thought a list of potential candidates might be in order. Let me know what you find or have and we'll add it to the list and see if this is indeed possible.
Thanks!

Hey all, the next NASTE Thursday night is scheduled for Dec. 4th at my place. We're going to try to tape some of the Autumn Hills track with copper tape and in between we'll be racing on the digital track. Doors open at 6pm. Come on out and join the fun. Contact me if you need directions.

Re: 1/24 IROC for NASTE races (17 replies, posted in Cars)
One of the problems with everyone building their own cars is that we run three different scales and it is unrealistic to expect that everyone will want to spend the dollars to be competitive in every scale and style. And that's just NASTE. Decisions have to be made. In fact, the one time last year that we allowed racers to run their own cars, we had two other cars show up. I suppose if the class were clearly defined so that we ran one of each scale car for a season it wouldn't be so bad. But if we allow open mods then the car builders have a distinct advantage over those that just want to race. Once again, decisions have to be made.
So Larry, how many of these "vintage" cars can you supply for us to race? And personally, yes, I'd pay a REASONABLE price. See, I got this 36D motor...

Yes, that was fun. I especially liked the guitar stuff! That Bryan is full of surprises. And yes, you're all invited out for the 4th. We'll do track taping on the Autumn Hills track. I have enough copper tape for all of us. And you can also entertain yourselves with the digital track which will accommodate 6 madcap racers at a time. Insane! I'll hope to have end boards in place by then. My poor water heater...

Re: What do you have? (38 replies, posted in Digital Racing)
Yes, very similar in that regard. There's a trigger for speed and a button on the top of the controller for lane changing. It's pretty easy to get the hang of actually. There's also a slow-moving safety car that you can put on the track that runs by itself so you can have a little interference.
