I had planed on making it there. ended up working a longer than I wanted too and then took off Thursday before Bill  gave me your address.

Na we just have to make sure he and Amy are in the same heat races. those two are like magnets when they race for some strange reason..........

Bill I want that 20 back. that 4 tenths was to be added to my total laps not Chris.
I lost that 4 tenths when jimmy crashed under the bridge and I collect him. It would off been close to a dead heat if that didn't happen. I did get my revenge in the BRM car at least.

Chris just slowly but steady pulling away one point at a time with the lead.....

Hey I missed that one on the list. Legal  for the class unless some proves its not

trucker ugly

Reeko do the carrera car need a motor swap or do the stock run ok at what we run for voltage?

still up in the air on that. maybe  this was my take from another post. If do end up making this a class I think going with a cut off date,say any car that ran in the gt class from 2013 to present would be legal to run and sticking with one make of car would be the best way to go. Even  so Carrera does make some nice gt3 cars but they are very heavy and if I'm not mistaken the motors do not run great on anything under 14 volts so a motor swap would be in order to make them run with Scalextric cars.. If do allow them in. then a fixed factory 18k motor must be used. such a h&r or something that can be easy to id

what do you think?

rough guild line nothing set in stone yet. thought might get some feed back. like to keep it simple. buy a car do a few simple mods and race it. don't want to turn a $40.00 car into a $80.00 car only thing that really needs to be replaced is the rear tires and the guild. and the guild is just preventive replacement because of the way there made.

This one has Chris written all over it. It should be legal to race.I do believe  they raced them last in the 2013 season.

Wind tunnel time.

Hey my limp is almost gone.

I'm ok with that.maybe call it super gt and gt3. Be kind of like imsa runs with the lmp cars and the gt cars.

I was thinking more like the f1 class run them with rocket ships but they would be there own class and class win.

yep  close racing indeed.Chris also extended his point lead.
next odd we are racing gt. any chance we could maybe slip the scaley gt3 cars into the mix. like to get a feel on what every body thinks about starting a new class of these up. rules are simple any modern scaley gt3 car.
