I understand your point of this being just another Slot It race and you are somewhat correct. The idea is to have a series that is easier for everyone to set up their cars for by making as many of the items as similar to those the majority have already worked with – Slot It cars and parts.
The series will be very different than Group C or DTM as the cars are very different and the set up will be different. The parts will be similar but that is where it stops. Proxy races are not the time to give participants multiple parts options as it just makes setting the car up that much more difficult to say nothing about the short time frame everyone is under to get a car ready for the first race on the 9th of January.
I am all for races where there are multiple options for cars and parts but now is not the time. Once we get through COVID we can get back to more “open” style series races.
On the F30 tires – I just checked the popular slot car retailers and almost all of them have F30’s in-stock.
Professor Motor – only two sets of 4 left in stock
Electric Dreams – 12 sets of 4
132slotcar.us – 10 sets of 4
LEB Hobbies – has them in-stock
Cloverleaf Racing and Slot Car Corner – No longer stocking all the Slot It tires as they are promoting their own Quick Slick and Paul Gage tire lines
