All,

At this past Saturday's club meeting we talked about a possible BRM and ScaleAuto race in Waxahachie on June 7th.  The majority, specifically 8 of the 9 club members in attendance, voted to move forward with the event.  Now that a large segment of the club have shown interest I wanted to make sure everyone else in the club know about this opportunity.  I details about the race are listed below with more to come as we nail down the details.  Please post to this forum if you are planning on going, are interested in going or have questions about the event.  We are looking forward to taking a good group to the event and having a great time.

Yes, fantasy liveries are welcome.

Will they allow fantasy liveries?

I found Pendle does a good job of letting you know which chassis the car has that may help you make a choice

I for one am going with the Mid-Ohio Viper solely for the Forza logo

I'm starting to think this is more trouble than its worth. By the VDS Z4 do you mean #SC-7059? And what's the Japanese car? The Scale Auto website does not list any R4 chassis on Z4s. The #SC-7059 is listed with a SC-8000 R2 chassis. 132SlotCar.us doesn't say crap about the chassis, although they do list numbers for chassis parts.

Yes, any scalAuto car is eligible. There are only two Z4's with the latest R4 chassis. The VDS and the Japaneese car. I have the VDS but will be painting a body to relocate the 2012 24 hours of Nurburgring car. Decals on the way from Pattos.

Is any 1/24 Scale Auto car eligible? I am thinking about getting a BMW. M3 or Z4? What Z4 do you have?

All,

For anyone on the fence about getting a ScaleAuto car and wondering if it will work on our track - they will! ScaleAuto released a new soft compound tire that works great on our track. If you are purchasing one of these cars I would recommend getting these tires as well. They will allow you to use the ScaleAuto on our track so you can get a better understanding of how they work, how to set them up and how they drive. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

If you have the car and are going why would you not join the race. It will be a blast Racing on a 155'blue king track with big cars with 20 people

I plan to attend as a marshall/observer. I have a BRM 962, with AW upgrade kit that can be borrowed to race. I have spare crowns, motor and tires.

I would be interested in running the Scaleauto race
