NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (Page 70 of 85)

Results from the November 11th Odd Thursday Night Races:

How is all that needs to be said about last night's racing.  Mr Prozac made a showing after along break from racing the 1/32 cars and him and ricci had a hell of a battle  in the lmp class with Zack taking the win. Up next was the points  race and more close racing was to be had here.  Al looked like he had the class covered till a late race cash with a back marker  snatched the victory  from  his grasp.  Doc took the win followed by Zack then Al . Up next was open and these had to be the race of the year so far
I'm just going  to let the result tell the stories when they are posted. Thanks again Al for hoisting and all the racers that made it out. See you all in two weeks.

Yes, a fun close night of racing at the triple RRR. It was super competitive in all the classes and glad I could finally be in the mix.

Not to rain on the congrats  but Rico wasn't  the one on the top step...

So I have been in the scratch/resin building mode the last few months and have a hand full these cars and nothing to race them against... thinking a one-off race with maybe just a motor limit to keep the damage down. any 14k motor open chassis and body tire and run it after the normal race classes on a odd Thursday race night..

I will have a couple of cars for this eventually. Would love to race them.

"4. 1mm min ride height"

.039", that is lower than what I am comfortable with.

1.5 mm equals .059".

.055" is the standard most 1/24 slot car groups use in our area. I would even consider .047" on lightweight 1/32 cars. For now on my track, I'm sticking with .055" as the standard for all cars.

1 mm or even 1.5 mm are odd specs for me. I can get a piece of wire in .055" or .047" to use for tech inspection.

Damage caused by hard parts coming into contact with the track surface are clearly visible on my track. Some of the evidence is years old I'm sure, but I see damage to areas I know I have repainted since the track was moved here. Some marks can't be avoided when caused by de-slots and crashes. However the indications of marks caused by gears coming in contact with the track surface when a car is lapping the circuit can be avoided. The track surface is not perfectly flat in all areas. Please check and verify the clearance you have on your cars between the lowest point of the car and the track surface! On most cars the gear will be lowest point of contact!

Well, no racing tonight only 4 brave souls battled the nasty holiday traffic and one, Me ended up getting a fing migraine so we ended up doing the revo slot qualifying instead.  try again in two weeks....

Chris still has mild symptoms. According to the clinic where she works 5 days after she no longer has symptoms we are good to go. Meanwhile I'll hang out in the basement reimagining older builds.

It felt good to get some laps in, it had been quite a layoff.  I was happy that some of my tweaking has helped close the gap to Doc "Super wide" Doom and Al. There's always close intense battles at Al's and last night was no different. See y'all next time.
