Topic: Buried Slot Cars? - GONE! (2 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
Ok, maybe not..........I know this is NOT slot car related but I want to get the word out.
Last call...The rip & tear has begun! If you are interested in any yard plants, shrubs, whatever let me know when you want to come out and load up! We have raspberries, iris & bulbs, lilys, peonies, bambo,and others. Scroll through the pictures for an idea of what's here. We also have a bunch of "misc." (using that term loosely) like 55 gal plastic drums, wood used to make raised planting beds, pots, ROCKS, and yes.....wait for it......BOWLING BALLS!!!!
You can see some photos of what we have around here on my Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/bill.bostic.7

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..................

Re: Division II Classic Sports Car (14 replies, posted in Cars)
On the one hand, their own class would be nice, then they could be regularly run, but on the other hand not everybody might have a sports car with a podded chassis laying around. I'd hate to see anybody feel compelled to buy yet another car just to have something to run. That's the plus of leaving them combined.
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.

Re: Division II Classic Sports Car (14 replies, posted in Cars)
Hmmmm............I decided that I was going to leave it up to you guys.
If it were up to me I'd leave the Classic Sports Car Class with the Division I specs with one exception. I'd spec out a lower RPM motor. I'd change Division II to Modified Production Sports Car and spec it as whatever you guys deemed appropriate.

Re: Division II Classic Sports Car (14 replies, posted in Cars)
What did you guys decide about restructuring this class? At a minimum it might be time to make the Division I and Division II their own class and rotate them accordingly?

This would be one hell-of-a buy for somebody! 4' x 8' table top with 3 lanes of racing. We held a NASTE IROC race on this track with 1/32 Reprotech Fiat Abarths. The track is a scaled down version of Lee Dundas' 1/32 track that was in the barn loft back in the eighties! This is a NICE track! Worth way more than $40!!!!

Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
Thanks Doc and I'd love to take you up on that offer, but right now I just have too much on my plate trying to get our new place put together. Still unpacking, painting, and making changes. I'm going over to Howie's today to bring our travel trailer home and touch base with the Rapid Raceway guys.

Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
Thought I'd post a note just to check in. We're in the new place as most of you already know. We're still working on getting stuff in the house and getting organized as well as making all those repairs and changes involved with acquiring a new home. All of my crap currently resides at 3 separate locations, most of it out of reach and unrecognizable do to cardboard camouflage. Between unpacking, setting stuff up, and repair work there has been little time to get anything done in regards to the shop build. I have only had one contractor submit a bid, and that was only for the concrete foundation. Evidently most every contractor around is too busy to commit to building my shop.
I'm missing the slot car racing and my racing friends. It was tough to get rid of my last track at the old place and that pretty much killed a lot of my enthusiasm for slot cars, at least for now. Hopefully once things get more settled and I can get to more of my slot car stuff I can get back into the swing of things. At this juncture time will tell........
