You're right Monte, I finally got around you with a non podded car. After my disastrous first heat I wasn't sure I would come out ahead of anybody.

I had planned on going there after work, but I can't believe I've caught another cold. I guess that's part of these larger construction  projects, I interact with about 80 different people on a daily basis.

I was going thru some of the older sloppier cars the other day and using super glue on the bushings, what an improvement. I glanced at a couple of old Strombecker plastic chassis that were so loose it was a marvel that the axle didn't just fall out, so I thought, "why not". Wow what a difference, they run as smooth as a new car, well a new Strombecker car that is.

Well thanks for having us. It seemed that a good time was had by all.

Don't worry Doc, all you have to do is come in first and the points will start going the other way. Nothing to it. From my end of the pack you all look the same, you look like tail lights.

I bet he would submit an Orange car and call it Yellowish.

Yes the Scalextric GT3 cars do qualify for the GT class, but they will probably get spanked pretty hard by the Slot Its and the lone Fly car that runs in that class. They are fun looking cars and could probably benefit from their own class, but we might want to think about something similar speed/handling wise that could run with them. Not everybody might want to buy another car for another class. Just a thought. I already picked up a Scaley GT3 just because, well, I guess because I have no will power to resist.

RE: Over 50 class, you can't win by any smaller margin without losing.

Over 50 might be fun on that track, after all that's what they were built for.

The guy on the bike need a helmet cam to get footage of all the action, including bloopers.

I believe the restrooms were also closed because they emptied straight into the river. When I was a teenager there were still old concrete restrooms in Waterfront park in Portland they didn't flush, there was just a pipe leading out of the bottom, like a fancy outhouse. One morning a couple of friends and I were wandering around the park when one of them picked up an empty bottle and dropped it into the toilet tube a couple of seconds later we heard a splash, when we looked over the rail there was the bottle floating in the river. They were all removed soon after as part of the Willamette clean up program.

Maybe we could cut a slot in the floor and build a chute. We could turn your garage into a giant vending machine. I'm just sure that Diane would love that.
