Hey guys - looks like I'm not going to be able to attend. And I have some really fast cars ready to go. The person I was going to share a room with had a family issue pop up (and family comes first)...

I'm sure it's going to be a great time... looking forward to seeing some great pictures.

Well guys, I agree with Charlie, it should be a very interesting race friday night. Im probably gonna use the Nissan 390, seems to handle the best for my tastes. Should be a very large turnout, and a lot of fun. the back straight is a suspension bridge and not perfecctly flat, has a rolling highway effect. I can envision some ariels , if not careful. Harlan, Don and myself will probably be there by 5pm, get some practice and tuning in, Charlie and Jay by 7 i think. We hope to get the...

Hey Rob, sorry to hear that, I agree with Matt

Im going to be using STs, they work well on my Carrera at home, but bring a couple sets of different tires and try em out at Buds.
I agree that it is a challenge when you dont have much choice as to tuning.
Im using the red white and blue 956 because its a bone stock car thats (broken in) well raced and has won on our track with just oiling...

I may not be able to make it this weekend. A work related obligation has come up. I have a client coming in from out of town and he will not arrive until Friday PM or Saturday AM. I am trying to work it out.

Stock is: Fresh out of the box with no modifications such as:

Opening screw holes, sanding the pods / bodies / chassis / interiors for clearance, modifing / eliminating screws, gluing motors, adding spacers, polishing axles etc.... nothing can change / be changed except tires, slot it guide and the additon of lead.

Is this correct? If so it actually makes it very challenging to tune a car

Any one know what tires hook up to Carrera plastic track? Super Tires? Yellow Dogs, Slot.it S1, S2, Sipt26 soft rubber? Did I cover most of the options?

Rob, next time have your crew chief use an x-acto knife (thinner), easier to separate that way! Or grind it away w/a dremel. Wish I had a chassis for you, all mine have the same mods! Bob

Man, I've got to fire my dumb ass crew chief.....oh that would be me.

Been there myself brother but Im sure youll get it together.

Im thinking about the best way to tech the cars Fri night, Buds is a little tight for floor space, would be to have all the bodies removed and a walk around by a tech to look at each car, any thoughts?

Well had a bad night in "the shop" getting a Slot-it car ready for Fridays race.

First I removed the body from my Loctite BMW Mclaren. This is by far the smoothest best handling car I own. I was checking the front axle assembly with the intent of removing the plastic pieces that I installed last year to remove the slop and adjust the ride height. Than I noticed that I had removed the original stock axle stops. So this car would not meet the current race specs. No big deal...

Dickie, as long as i get a slice, no problem...see u friday...

Bud tells me there may be up to 10 more local racers coming to race friday night, we may have a packed house, upwards of 20. Sounds great.

He is donating a Slot-it F40 kit as a first prize...

Hi all,
A few things u all should be aware of, buds will be available for practice anytime anyone gets there, free track time and he will lower the lane voltage to 10v. All you need do is tell him when u arrive that ur here for the race and track time is on the house, I will open the basement door earlier, for those who want an early start, say 7am. I have no problem with that. I also agree, with my mates rulings, to keep the car as stock as possible for fridays race, except for braid...

Hey Bob both tracks will be 10v, the race at Buds will start at around 8 so I would get there before that, doors will open at HVSC at 8am.
A thin washer to limit side play on the Slotits is NOT legal, the cars are to be 100% stock except for rear tires , guides and weight inside the car.

I have a few questions:

Both tracks will be running at 10volts?

Friday nights is at Buds HO - practice starts at 8:00 pm?

Saturday morning is at HVSC track and practice starts at 8:00 am?

Front axle shim for Slot.it's okay?

Thanks! BobM <><

Hey Rob, I would think as long as you are not cutting the chassis in any way it would be legal, do you need to do this on your Slotit also, they have the spacer blocks and the newer chassis have set screws for the axle.
Harlan and Rick will also add their opinion on this, I have no problem with it.

I need some clairification on this item. Is it allowed to modify the front axle assembly to limit the free play on either of these two classes? Typically we would glue in a piece of plastic to set the ride height and limit the up and down movement of the front axle. I have no problem with or without it. I just need the clairification so that we all are set up the same way.

Hey guys, we would like to invite racers to attend an upcoming event at HVSC on our 4 lane Ogilvie in Cortland Manor NY. It will be an enduro style event for 60s and 70s LeMans cars made by Fly and Scaly. We are limiting to these 2 brands to make it a little easier in car selection. Basically, any car that ran a 24hr of LeMans is eligible, Ferrarris, GT40s, Porsches etc. We would like to get enough racers so we could have 2 man teams. We are also thinking about cycling the lights to a dusk...
