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...

No, that is Jeff's new permanent track. They just got it completed in time for the traditional Halloween race.

I'm for moving to a roving Thursday night. We've got enough home tracks around that we could do something just for fun with some regularity. Who's in?

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.

The new table has been completed and the digital track has been moved to the garage. A big thanks to Jack for all his support in the table process. So... let's race!

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?

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.
