    1. 1/24 BRMs – not limited to Group-Cs, lets include the 917s, McLarens and Ferrari-512s.
    2. Russell suggested a ‘bracket race’ where a car is given an ‘index’ from the best time of a 3 to 5 minute qualifying run, (and we could also have 3 qualifying runs and pick the average of the 3 best times).  So, all teams (driver & car) with indexes from 3.7 to 3.75 would race each other, … with a 3.85-3.9 index would race together, etc.  The only restriction would be scale (1/32) of the car.
    3. Vintage Classics Race
      Spec would be for a Slot.It HRS-2 chassis; body would be GTs, Daytona Prototypes, basically 1970s-80s cars that are currently in vintage heros races.  Cobras, Cheetas, Ferrari GTs and GTOs, McLaren coupes, classic Mercs, classic corvettes, from FLY, NINCO, Carrerra, Scaley, etc.  Motor < 25k; Weight <100g; Rear Tires 17×12 max.

    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.
