There appears to be interest in running a 1/24 scale class. Now all we need to do is decide if we are talking Carrera, BRM, Scaleauto or Avant Slot. From a marketing perspective the Carrera choice would be easy as Kings and Hobby Town already sell them. From a cost perspective Carrera are the cheapest to purchase. Does anyone know if Carrera USA would support a series with some product and marketing support? The big downside to a Carrera series is the lack of quality of the cars and the lack of aftermarket tuning parts.
BRM has a great series that we could run all over the country and get a BRM Challenge race at our track. The cars are, for the most part, great. They drawback is the initial cost to the members that don’t own one and getting Kings to pick them up so we could host a BRM Challenge race.
Having said all this, I don’t even know if we can run three 1/24 scale cars on the track. We need to try three cars at once to make sure it will work. How about everyone bringing a 1/24 scale car to run this Thursday evening.
See you guys on Thursday.
