TA – It’s never too early to start *thinking about annual planning. Some considerations:
— Reviving Legacy series only run ~2 times previously.
— Use the OLD rules to allow people to enter a car with just a set fresh of tires and a drop of lube. UNLESS some old rule/part (tires, guide, etc.) seemed to be a major source of problems – in which case – propose the Series ‘A Deux’ with REVISED RULES that remove the problem!
— For all series Consider – a basic set of Default Parts, assuming that they do Not provide any proven advantage over OEM Brand or Model parts:
… Slot.IT 21.5/23k motor; SIPT28 F30 tires (and compatible 10×15-ish wheels); SICH07 Wooden Track Deep Guide; Slot.IT drivetrain (axles, gears); 19mm Slot.IT Zero grip front tires; 3/32 Carrera-ish Oilite bushings (such as to allow Slot.IT drive-train parts in NSR, Fly, Avant Slot or other brands with snap-in bushings).
We always cite cost-control as a major factor supporting “SPEC” rules; but that does Not work if the OEM parts are troublesome, -or- backup spares are not in good stock from typical vendors, et al. Most members have All of these Default Parts in their Spares.
WE NEED – Long Standing Members to add their “flavor” to the club as fresh Series Managers and Officers. The door is open to >> You.
WE NEED – YOUR IDEAS – and participation – to Thrive and Grow.
WE NEED – EVERYONE to be Skilled in managing a Series – including Posting Results and Stories 🙂
WE NEED – to do MORE Public Events Together
DO WE- want to be re-locating to a Storage Warehouse in 2022? I H O P E N O T
