Thanks for the racing tonight Al! It was great to see everybody and get a few laps in!

This info is located under Race Rules in this Forum ;

Class 1 - Classic Sports Car
This class is open to classic and vintage sports cars, RTR and scratchbuilt are acceptable. Examples of cars that are legal for this class are: Revell King Cobra and Porsche 904, Ninco Classics (i.e. Porsche 356, Jaguar XK120, Corvette, Jaguar "D" Type),  old Revell 1/32 slot cars (i.e. Ferrari GTO & '65 Corvette), Carrera "D" Jag & '67 Corvette, Monogram Ferrari 275P, MRRC King Cobra & Porsche 904. This short list is not inclusive of all the possible cars, there are other brands that would fit this class with slight narrowing of the rear tires. Motors are limited to those developing no more than 18,000 RPM - refer to the Slot Car Motor List link on this site.  This class is comprised of two divisions (10/21/2015).
Division I: Elligible car's rear tire contact patch must be 7mm or less. The tire width set is that of Revell Classic cars, specifically the King Cobra and Porsche 904. Tires slightly wider than 7mm can be narrowed to meet the rule. Chassis construction must be rigid with no separate articulating pieces such as hinged side pans, motor pods, or suspension type front axle mounts.
Division II: Elligible cars' rear tire contact patch must be 8mm or less. Chassis construction may be multipiece/articulating.
Races will be run at 10 volts.

Excellent job guys, you represented us well!

I'm pretty sure MONTE does!

Sorry guys, I'm not going.

11/23 is Thanksgiving Day. I don't think Al gave me that date for an Odd Thursday Night Race? I assumed it was because of Thanksgiving.........

Great stuff Monte!

I've only had two contractors show up to look and I have not seen the second contractor's bid yet.............all I have is one bid for some of the cement work...

Ok, ok,..........I may be the crappiest driver on the team having been away from holding a controller in my hand, but I'M IN.

I believe John Fisher has moved away. I heard through the grapevine he moved to California to be closer to his daughter.

.................guess I'm going to have to search for my controller..................

2 cents from a temporarily out-of-touch racer: Although the rules would spec a podded chassis, I see no reason why a racer could not race with an "un-podded" chassis if that was his only option. It would definitely NOT be an advantage. Might even create a challenge for some? Another option along the lines of how NASTE has always dealt with "rule infractions" could be implemented. Cars that do not fully "conform" to the rules are considered "non-compliant". As with the new racer "magnet rule", non-compliant cars could compete but would be officially scored as N/C. They would receive no official credit for their finish position or points in the case of the championship. If they were to win a race with a non-compliant car, that car at that point could be banned. We've had this system in place and I have used it a few times. It is not hard to implement.
