    @TA-Radial – I think we need to revise a few past series, otherwise we are painting ourselves into a corner with the same ‘fun’ series – year after year…
    I would rather re-visit RevoSlot, ThunderSlot and 1/24 ScaleAuto again in 2020.
    Otherwise – we have only Two series to experiment with.

    @917 – I favor BRM in 2019, for 1/24. Group-C Plus 917s …
    The 1/24 BRM/132slot TAs look extra-super-cool – but we REALLY need to consider affordability for All members.

    @TA-Radial, @917 – I prefer a 1/32 Trans Am Redux with more practical rules (and car choices) this time.

    ?Why aren’t we even thinking about 1/32 Womps or 1/24 Flexies with RUBBER tires? These are $60 cars with another $15 in wheels and tires.  Just Saying it would be a challenge and certainly some technology that could be used in Pflugerville.

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
