With a system that looks a lot like Scorpius but is more a fact of two companies developing systems using similar technology, Slot.It announces Qxigen:

Topic: What do you have? (38 replies, posted in Digital Racing)
We've got an SCX digital system here at the house of about 60 ft. It will soon be moving to the garage for a more permanent setup, thanks to Jack Attack. He spent an entire day here putting a table together and with a few more hours we'll have it completed. It will be capable of running up to 6 cars simultaneously or 5 cars and the safety car.
One nice thing about digital is that you don't have to worry about lane colors since any lane will do.
If you've got a digital track at home, tell us what you have and let's get this digital revolution going.

We'll be there tonight to battle it out to the finish but I think Bryan will be absent. He'll still have a score of 158 that none of us can reach.

Re: First naste race of the season (6 replies, posted in NASTE)
That was a great start to the season. And even though there were some minor issues I think they were dealt with most fairly. I also really liked the IROC controllers. That made it feel like a really even playing field. And even though I still got beat by the top dogs, I felt better about it. Heck I was only .2 laps behind Bill. I musta been flying!

Re: 1/24 IROC for NASTE races (17 replies, posted in Cars)
Here's a link to the cars we're talking about if anyone is interested:
Strombecker Cheetah, Lotus 30 and Chaparral 2
http://www.ejshobbies.com/cars/basement/monogram.html
Porsche RS-60
http://www.ejshobbies.com/cars/revell/revell.html
It looks like the Lotus 30 might have a different motor than the others. Hard to say but it would be a fun group to run together. He's also got a pretty good deal on a complete brass chassis setup for both 1/32 and 1/24. I doubt that they will handle like a Tifosi but that's not exactly the point here. Just good-old-fashioned racin'. And the parts are available to keep them running if we get too wild.

Yes, those were the cars I was talking about. Let me know what you need, I'm always willing to help. Especially if we can get the EJ's guy to throw in a few extra bodies. We know he has 'em.

I voted for Flexi's so I have no idea. Of course there were those kits that the one place had on sale - the Cobra, RSK and so forth. Didn't you get one of those?

Re: Professor's 4-hour Enduro - Round 3 Scheduled (7 replies, posted in Events)
Here's some pictures from the event taken by the only Oregonian NOT pictured - Victoria:
That's Fantasy World Tony on the left, Bruce in the middle, and the Professor on the right.
Derek, John's son, in red racing with the Oregonians... racers Mike Lombardi in blue plus Byron and Randy Stumman with Monte as the corner marshal. That's the Professor and wife Chrissy on the other side.
As you can see, the Corvette WAS the quick car. Everyone wanted to drive that car.
The Professor, Randy and Tony squaring off with Corina, the fastest girl racer I've ever seen. Also the quietest! Corina's dad Bruce is in the back in the white hat. That's Curtis, Bruce's son on the left.

It was another super time. It's a fun track to race on and a cool format. This time we actually got to race quite a good part of an hour in the dark. I always like that. The folks and the food are great. And being on the winning team never hurts.

Re: Jiada Slot Cars (11 replies, posted in Cars)
They may not be that bad, I re-read the review and I think it was the stick-on decals that probably put me off. However that's just a personal thing. If they run like SCX cars, they will be fine, just slow. Well, slower than a Slot.It. But they will run well unto themselves. In fact, they might be just perfect for a NASTE IROC!

Re: Slot.it woes (28 replies, posted in Cars)
Personally, I prefer styrene but the process is about the same. I used graph paper with little squares and then taped the chassis to the paper to help align things. For those of you with jigs, that part will be much easier. I'd be up for a builders series of styrene or popsicle cars. Autumn Hills is the perfect track for such cars. Would be interesting to see which technology is better. Ok, so "technology" may be pushing the envelope a bit there. I'm not sure but 25k may be too much motor and might tend to separate the car. Then again, if you use JB Weld, probably a falcon is ok.
