    THANKS to Chap65  and  TaRadial  for meeting with Bob Pomann  and his wife.  A good time was had by all!  Bob and wife were Very impressed with the club and Russ’ original pictures and all the hard work and details he did to make it such a great venue (Bob is a photog himself).

    Randy entertained them with his usual banter and encyclopedic knowledge – but Most importantly raced Bob with the NSR F1s – Bob actually got a feel for the track quite quickly and posted some respectable 4.1s. Russ had some some 60s-ish car themed music which added to the ambiance.

    Finally – Bob was so impressed with Datto’s Mousetrap  tyre-cleaner that he bought the improved prototype (Marty the cash is in your pit box).

    *This* night is what slot-racing is about – at it’s core – Fun times with friends!  Good show guys.

    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.
