I had a fantastic fun day of racing, thanks Bob for hosting.  I really enjoyed the flexi cars and my TA car got better with a little tuning and soldering. Now that Ted is leaving us, I guess I will finally have to improve my soldering skills so I don't lose so many laps re-soldering pinions.

I paid a visit to InSlot's Checkered Flag Raceway yesterday and came home with this beauty. Thank you again Mr. Bill

Test was negative on Saturday. I would have been safe to race

My nephew who plays football for L.O. High school had a teammate test positive last week and I was around my nephew all week end so the dreaded virus may be in our home. All players will be rapid tested again tomorrow but until I'm sure that I'm clean I will have to pass on racing tomorrow. I just don't want to take the chance of giving it to you fine people. I will state my nephew or anyone in my family do not have any symptoms at this time, just being precautionary.  I was really looking forward to trying out my new car, but it will just have to wait for the next race

I purchased one of these from Zack earlier today. I would have to say at first inspection this kit has many improvements over the original chassis. All of the bolt-on brackets are made of superior materials and quality.  I can hardly wait to get it assembled and race it.

Glad to hear that Chris. I've done the week plus thing and I do not recommend it.

As always Bill, excellent work.

We lost 3 branches out of the birch tree in the back yard. Two smaller ones and a pretty good sized one. We lost power for about a minute and lots of flickers. My mom still has no power along with no update on it’s return

The index showed your track as having no posts, which didn't seem right. I hope you can get your remodel completed so we can race at your track again.

Carrera makes this one, but the one grandpa made is probably much better.

Impressive indeed.

I made a visit to Bill’s this afternoon to try out the new layout and have to give it a thumbs up. In my opinion it has a better flow than it did previously. Thanks Bill for the laps.

That’ll slow it down for sure. I did that on my Nastruck one day and it is noticeable. Thanks Zack for the track time and the tuning pointers, much appreciated.
