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.
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.
Yes, more or less. He entered after I did so I doubt we'll be trading many secrets. Here's the link:

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.
For the 2009 Winter/Spring season we will not only be running races once a month but these races will count towards a series championship to be awarded during the May 2009 event.
Series Race Car Classes. The following are the classes of cars that will be run in this series. Please refer to the car specifications in the rules for specifics.
Cold... very cold. You say that like we didn't get there. 
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.
I'll have you take that up with my economic adviser.
While that's a wonderful idea, something tells me this is not the right time of year to be chopping holes in the roof.
Yes I do. And my wife has made it quite clear it shall stay one. Now if only I had vaulted ceilings...
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.
Isn't his track pretty sticky with glue?
Bill, is that running the tires that Glenn made on the TCONY?
Great news on the NSR, I've got one of those.
Yes, a big thank you to John and Chrissy for taking such good care of us. It was a fun day. And also FW Tony for a great trip to toyland. Wow.
That WAS a good time and I've got pictures to prove it. Thanks to y'all for showing up. The track name is currently under discussion.
Sorry, George. I had no idea about the cat. Have a nice holiday and thanks for the info. Sounds promising.
Here's a progress report fresh from the Digital Hills.
This is the table that Jack built:
This is the track that sits on the table that Jack built:
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.
Do you think they would be bright enough to provide sufficient light? George, we need a demo! With pictures.
I only have one thing to say:
I beat Bill!
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)

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:
Gran Prix cars since 1950
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.
