    CLARIFICATIONS

    Guys, I never intended for my Non-Race ideas (and the off-the-wall-races) to be part of the agenda for the planning meeting.  I am trying to determine member interest in any of these events, and if there is enough, I will organize them for Non-Race weekends (or Sundays);  naturally I will coordinate with Mark at Kings and with the club leadership.

    SERIES SUGGESTION TO BE DISCUSSED

    Classic/old-school/scratchbuilt Races  –  Strombergs, Revels, static model conversions, etc.  Since we may have a motley set of cars that people have, create racing classes by weight, motor RPM, body style – whatever seems simple, fair, reasonable.  Or, if members only have a few cars, and none of them are like each other, just let anything run (except wing cars, and expensive collectors editions).

    This is intended as a purely fun series, as a filler for maybe 4-6 weeks total.  We could score for separate categories such as: fastest lap, most laps completed, oldest car, coolest car (member votes), best condition (vote), worst condition (vote).

    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.
