1/24th. BRM's on the track built mainly for 1/32nd. cars. I had to be convinced that this was possible even though I was told by Bill that this actually worked and was a lot of fun. Well it does work and it is a lot of fun!

Looks like plenty of room between those cars, must be at least a quarter of an inch!!!
Thanks for makin' it out last night Howie. Hope you enjoyed the racing! ---------------Bill

I always enjoy it at Too Bad Motorplex. I need to get a handle on those 1/32nd. cars. I was amazed at how those 1/24th. 962's handled your track, a lot of paint was exchanged, but the cars pretty much held the course without de-slotting even though they were "leaning" on each other a lot. It was fun. I looked into the 962's today. I really appreciate the fact that you loaned me one, I thought it handled very good, way better than either of my 1/32nd. cars!

It really is amazing how well those cars work on my track. I think are two key factors that make the cars suitable for my track; 1. The lower speeds of the cars due to the low 10 volt power. 2. The fact the course is pretty tight so they can't build up a lot of speed. I'll be the first to admit, when Chris Kouba first suggested we race the 1/24 BRMs on my track I did not think they were going to work out. But he made me a believer! Goose Gossett and I made a trip out to Chris' house in Oregon City to run give his 3 lane track a run with the BRMs. Chris' track in his basement was even shorter and tighter than mine, but even on his little track the BRMs were a gas! Speaking of tracks at Chris' house, he is in the process of building a new track as part of his basement remodel! I can't wait!
I'd like to thank Chris for not only introducing us to the 1/24 BRM cars, but for also providing us with cars to run an IROC format at TooBad Motorplex on Odd Thursdays!
