Vic and I went to the Vancouver shop one time.  They gave her a wing car to run circles around me with.  She liked it a lot.

It does look a little like it got stepped on already.

The track will be going to Doc in Vancouver.

Thank you very much.

Track is still available at no cost to a local buyer.

It is now disassembled and is basically two 4x8 sections with a third smaller one and a complete PC system for scoring.

All you need is a power supply.

And one of the things is the Thunderslots don't even have to be well tuned, just taken out of the box and put on the track.  The NSR's may be similar.

Maybe the Can Am class should just be Slot.It cars, there are plenty of those to go around.

Well tuned ones, of course.

Agreed.

"A few and a couple" against the standard out-of-the-box car.  Imagine what that Thunderslot might be like with time invested in it like was invested in the few and a couple - which is what will be next.

I'm ok with this but for the majority it's just buy a Thunderslot and go racing.

I'm easy, I can wait until the crowd dies down.   I'm sure I can select something out of the remains.  Thank you, Bill.

Mail order available?

Of note, the boards we were using for relays were never intended to be used at those current levels, rather 132 at 10v and such.

I talked with Mike (my DRS partner) and he had no interest in upping the levels for larger scale applications.

The Race Coordinator issue in my opinion and backed by testing and research has always been a poor implementation of the serial port driver.  I discussed this at length with the software developer and his reaction was basically to switch to USB.  With his own software package.  So basically he didn't put in the time to make a serial interface work right.

Here's what I found with testing.

I have run my track/system here for just a little over 12 years using Ultimate Racer without issue.  I tried Race Coordinator and in the FIRST RACE HEAT the race was stopped by the typical issue we would see at Al's.  End of story.

Bottom line for me - use something other than Race Coordinator if you are going with a serial port connection.

Trackmate with their own hardware should always be solid.  Same with the DS stuff.  In fact I am looking at using the DS bits I have for my "new" track project.  If only the stop and go boxes that went to the track at the Museum of Speed would resurface.

Pleasant day to you all.

You got it.  Easily sits on saw horses.

Yup.  Both.

This would be a good track for you.
