–917 body-any brand-perhaps as part of the GT series.
–Corvette body-any brand-perhaps as part of the GT series.
–Classic 50s/60s openwheels (aka. torpedos) [convert to a Slot.it wood guide; replace axle/crown with Slot.It, use same wheels and BRM ‘classic’ tires as we did for 2014 TransAm. Keep stock motor and nylon 9z pinion, run at 12v.] Yes they will be a *pain in the ass* to drive (I know b/c I have a classic ferrari 250?); yet it will be fun if we dont take it too seriously!
–Drag Races as a fun/filler series
EXISTING SUGGESTIONS I ENDORSE
–Open GT (Steve, Marty) – esp. if it includes classic 60/70s coupes like Ferraries, Shelbys, etc.
–Rally as a fun/filler series sounds very interesting
–Metal chassis – I’d love to try more of the more sophisticated 1/32 brands.
–ScaleAuto 1/24…same cars we used in Garland
–BRM Anglewinder…allow both plastic and metal chassis- open up to other bodies (e.g. 917)
COST CAVEAT
–Let’s try and stick to one expensive series (e.g. BRM alumimum chassis McLarens, Plafits, etc.) in the final schedule. An $80 car and a $150 car and $20 more each in parts and tires adds up ($270 = 80+150+20+20), esp. when we may have two other series that potentially may require new cars at $60 ea plus parts. $415 (270+120+25).
