I think most of those rules were copied from another clubs site. Who knows how old they were or who made them.
Myself I hate the sound of hard coated tires going around the track. It reminds me of that old Matchbox set from '66 that allowed you to race your Matchbox cars and the new Hotwheels that were just coming out.

yeah, but we're not making a Sideways Class are we? We are including NSR, Scaleauto, 3D chassis for Scalextric, ect.  Otherwise we may as well leave the GT3 class just the way it is and start racing Sideways cars against themselves..

I object to the no independent front wheels. That is a basic tuning practice going back to the 60s.
Painting the front tires with glue or nail polish makes it sound like we're racing matchbox cars.
OEM anglewinder is odd as many of the listed cars come with inline & siderwinder pods.
As for motors most of the 23K seem to be low on torque allowing the Black Stripe and 21.5K motors to compete.
Monte our aim in discussion wasn't really about speed but rather better handleing,  increasing the "fun" factor. A Scalextric with a pod can run well with an NSR we've found.

Do these rules need to be posted under the "NASTE Rules" to replace the current GT3 rules?

This is just an open discussion at this point

Okay we'll be running proxy cars tomorrow here in Tigard.
I'll have the track open by 4pm. So bring some cars (there are also plenty of cars here) and we can run laps until the "working guys" can make it.
I'm told there are 11 proxy cars so that part won't take too long.

I just saw this this morning. I left a message for Stan but haven't heard back.
I can have the track up and ready wednesday evening.
Presumably he'll hop on and let us know.

For those interested in racing 1/32 I've attatched the schedule below.
Also of note we've combined the right cables,  software,  and hardware to provide glitch free racing. At least last night ran seamlessly.
  If something appears on the schedule that you don't have don't worry about it,  we always have a few spares sitting around.

Well if that's the case Bob I'm glad I made it out one last time and was able to stay to help put it to bed.
 
I always liked the track, and the venue. Thanks for hosting.
