Actually, many, many, many..........I believe I failed them all.................Not really sure as they had quit talking to me by the time the classes were over..........

I had a great time tonight Al! Thanks for providing us with such an awesome place to hang out and track to race on!

And Zack, thanks for the fantastic Can Am car! I promise I will get better........

When I first started racing with the PASER guys I was using "vintage" 1/24 parts. I had a BUNCH of those green axles. Thinking they were obviously an advantage, being lighter and non-magnetic, I went through quite a few of them before I realized they were NOT the hot ticket!!! Some of us learn more slowly than others.......

All nice cars Monte! Personally I'd like to start racing more of these cars!

P.S. be careful with those "green" axles.......they're aluminum and bend very easily!......Don't ask me how I know........

Hmmmmm............................

Lord knows I have '70 Camaros!!!!!

If you build them, I will come!

...........................................maybe that didn't come out quite right?!!

Thanks Zack!

I'll be watching for car no.2!!!

Hey Zack, I've really been struggling with finding time for building cars while I'm in up to my eyeballs with trying to get my shop squared away, moving our daughter, taking care of other family stuff, and peddling slot cars. Are you open to the idea of "trades" for that car? Like maybe 3 new cars for it?

Sorry I won't be able to make it Zack.

Fantastic racing last night at Al's Rippin' Ridin' Raceway! Although I only stuck around for one race I had a great time! I was totally unprepared to race but Zack loaned me his F1 Polycar and controller to compete in the F1 race. I gotta say Zack is the man to beat in this class! His car handles beautifully! Nice job Zack and thanks for lending me your equipment!

The racing in the F1 class was extremely close, except for Zack killing us for the win! Here's the results from the night of racing:

Hi DC,

Sorry about the delayed response. Diane and I were away for a spur of the moment road trip and just got back this evening. I have the track cleared off and it is operational. Friday the 26th would probably work. Just give me a call if you want to stop by!   ======Bill

I'll echo what Stan said, it was a great time at Al's last night! The other part of his post that caught my attention was "Zack Speed". How appropriate!

I'm gonna try something a little different for posting the results this morning. Mostly because i'm old and lazy!

The best way to get ahold of Mike is through an instant message on Facebook.

If you search for Mike Lombardi on Facebook he'll pop up. He is the Nike guy.

Mike's a great guy! I told him you were interested Zack.

GUYS, Mike has dropped the price of his cars to $20 a piece!!! These are AWESOME deals! Take a look at what he has to sell!!!!

I installed on the rear nsr classic super grips and the front some Paul gage  that I  trued down. With the work on the body post and chassis I able drop body height  by good distance.  She runs good on the plastic track
Have to see what she does on the wood..

Then there is the Scalextric D type. Several of us has fooled around with these cars, I'm not sure if anyone has had much success with one. I've made this one smooth but it just suffers badly in high speed turns. It's a good looking car though.

This is Fly's 250GTO It's wheels have a 5mm rib on the front wheels and a 6mm rib on the rear. This severely reduces tire choices that look right with the car. It also has independent front axles that are very wobbly.

This Auto Art C type runs okay, narrowness is the biggest issue. I've swapped out the motor but the rest of it is too pretty to mess with.

This is Scalextric's version of a front motored XKE. Though they look so similar to the Ninco car I am unable to get it to rum nearly as smooth.
